Altman riddles the movie with moments like this, keeping viewers constantly off balance. He jumps deftly from satire and black comedy to utter seriousness and back again as he introduces new characters. The scenes between Sterling Hayden and Nina van Pallandt (as the drunk, impotent writer and his enigmatic wife) are moving and terrifying.

Hookers are immediately booted out. A strict dress code outlaws Levi's, tank tops and cutoffs. These rules apparently appeal to the clientele that seeks out the club: a conservatively dressed crowd of nurses and schoolteachers, pilots, salesmen and junior executives...
