Looking for Mr. Goodbar is very much an American movie. Opening with a montage of black-and-white stills of Theresa, the film relies heavily on crisp quips to furnish some badly needed levity to the story, and Brooks is not averse to using quick cutting from scene to scene to keep the action moving. One-liners like "Confession is good for the soul but it's bad for sex" are supposed to pass for slick dialogue, and they do succeed in eliciting the nervous chuckles, but the script seems to have been written with no higher purpose in mind...

...Russians wanted a straight barter deal. The company agreed to furnish them with the essentials for making Pepsi, including bottling equipment from West Germany, over a five-year period (the Russians make their own bottles and handle all distribution). In return, Pepsi got the rights to sell Russian wine and vodka in the U.S. The arrangement boils down to this: the more Soviet booze Pepsi can market in the U.S., the more Pepsi concentrate (and new equipment) the Soviets...
