Cinemoi, 10:00 p.m. ET

 
First, look and see if you have Cinemoi on your cable or satellite service (DirecTV is its major home in the States right now.) It’s supposed to be a channel showing subtitled French films to U.S. audiences, but it shows a lot more than that. Here, for instance, it presents one of my favorite crime-caper films from the Seventies: 1971’s $, an American movie, filmed in Germany, starring Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn. He plays a bank manager who plans an inside job to rob certain customers of their safe-deposit box holdings, and she plays his prostitute girlfriend who agrees to help. It’s a very stylish movie (Quincy Jones did the eclectic, exciting score), and it concludes with one of the longest, most inventive chase scenes on film.)
