Protocol

Starring: Hawn, Goldie and Sarandon, Chris

Will the corridors of power in our nation's capital ever be the same? Not after Sunny Davis (Goldie Hawn) arrives. The ditzy D.C. cocktail waitress goes from serving drinks to serving her country after saving an Arabian dignitary from an assassination attempt. What Sunny thinks, she says. And what she says and does is hugely funny, thanks to work by writer Buck Henry (The Graduate), director Herbert Ross (The Goodbye Girl) and Academy Award winner* Hawn, charmingly back in her country's service after cheery stints in Private Benjamin and Swing Shift and putting her politics where her heart is -- as well as her Protocol.

Customer Reviews

With a little luck and the right attitude, you can go far.

This movie’s screenplay was written by “Buck Henry” (1930-2020), who also directed and acted in “Heaven Can Wait” (1978). C-o-c-k-t-a-i-l waitress Sunny Davis (Goldie Hawn) gets shot in the, well, let us say posterior while impulsively saving a politician. Her heroism and notoriety eventually open up an opportunity to work in the U.S. foreign relations department as a hostess. She is tagged (unknown to her) to become a member of a Middle Eastern household. The signs are all there. By the time she finds out that she was an exchange for oil rights, it is too late. Luck is with her, and she learns something in the end. So do we.
