There is a long set-up to the chase in this film. Luckily it involves a daffy, wonderful Goldie Hawn as a hooker/accomplice to bank robber Warren Beatty. She's a breathing cliff-hanger, you never know what she's going to do next. And in the middle of the hysteria, there's a beautifully quiet moment where she tells Beatty about a screen-test she did for the movies ("First take, nothing. Second take, I dunno know...tears. Third take, I forgot my own name"). The chase takes up about 2 entire reels; it's a hoot, especially the scene on the ice, and I loved what appeared at first to be a twist ending. Someone dupes someone else, and then in turn gets duped. It would've been an awesome climax, but there's a weird tag at the very end of the picture (ostensibly to wrap it up with a bow) which is sort of a let-down. It seems to involve none of the participants--only their props!--which leads me to believe this was a post-production, last minute decision. Still, "Dollars" is very funny, very smart, filmed in a cool, dizzy style that's no longer fashionable but certainly memorable. ***1/2 from ****
