The Happy Hooker (1975)
The title says it all. Based on Xaviera Hollander’s bestselling memoir, this comedy stars Lynn Redgrave as a worker in the Dutch consulate who quits to pursue a much more lucrative line of work.
New York Times critic Vincent Canby called it “a cheerfully amoral New York comedy about greed and lust in the land of opportunity” and “a witty work.”
The lead character runs into lots of problems, sure, but she charms her way out of all of them. The film spawned two sequels.
