Hot Money has Blake Edwards being very stylish again. Although he is not the director.

You can almost forget about the story and look at the visuals.

The opening scene has some hoodlums walking into a launderette and putting a body in the dryer.

It was an opening shot to launderette owner Louis Anza. He and the dead man were involved in a heist. They stole 1 million dollars several month earlier.

The bills were marked so they cannot spend the money. Now some hoodlums are after the money and him

Anza wants Peter Gunn to return the money. In return no criminal charges would be pressed on Anza so he can run and hide.

For Gunn he will get a finders fees for returning the money. A win win but soon Edie is kidnapped.

Gunn needs to turn the tables on the hoodlums and needs Jacoby's help. A visual feast.
