...Amelia Earhart in a movie. But before getting down to work, she stopped by to see a Manhattan screening of Warren's latest film, Shampoo, a comedy about a hairdresser's sex life. In it he claims "to challenge the assumption that a hypersexual character -a Don Juan-is acting out of anger or misogynist feelings or latent homosexuality."
