Born To Win (1971)

Side-burned hepcat George Segal learnt his effortless charm while dressing the hair of the ladies of New York City, but despite still checking out Vidal Sassoon's latest, he's given up his curling tongs for life as a heroin-addicted petty thief.

While his wife etches out a living as a smack whore, Georgie runs around trying to steal safes with junk buddy Jay Fletcher.

Things look up when the rich, kooky, folk-singing hippie Karen Black catches George trying to steal her car and invites him up to her place to lick her arms. His luck runs out though, when cops lock him in a tumble drier until he agrees to help set up his supplier, Hector Elizondo.

Wise to the sting, Hector cuts off George's supply, leaving him all alone while Jay shoots up battery acid and the peeved cops plant drugs on Karen and lock her away for eternity.
