Bad (1977)

In the comfort of her seemingly ordinary home, Hazel masterfully operates a beauty salon that doubles as a front for her darker, more lucrative business: outsourcing merciless women for assassination assignments. Enter K.T., a desperate parasite who, finding himself penniless, turns to Hazel in a plea for work. Initially, Hazel is hesitant; she has a preference for female operatives, but K.T.'s desperation piques her interest enough to consider him for a probationary period. Meanwhile, Hazel's corrupt cop contact is clamoring for a token arrest, a move designed to paint the illusion of his competence, yet Hazel is far from willing to serve her loyal "associates" on a platter. Weaving through this primary narrative are a series of tangential subplots, each teeming with characters plucked straight from the underbelly of society, their stories intertwining and enriching the sordid world Hazel inhabits. Expect to navigate the murky depths of this narrative, where the line between the mundane and the sinister is blurred, and where the scent of fresh perm solution is tinged with the faint whiff of danger. This is a tale of survival, cunning, and the dark side of ambition, where every character has a story to tell, and every story has a price.

Bad is a comedy movie featuring Carroll Baker and directed by Jed Johnson.
