This
German sex comedy offers a brisk plot, lots of nudity and the exquisite
girl-next-door beauty of Olivia Pascal. She made a name for herself
with a decade of similar sex comedies (THE
FRUIT IS RIPE,SUMMER
NIGHT FEVER,et al) and
erotic thrillers (i.e., Jess Franco's BLOODY
MOON and BEHIND
CONVENT WALLS) before moving to German TV with the hit sketch-comedy
series BANANAS.
Interestingly,
one of her co-stars here - Zachi Noy - is a young rotund, Israeli actor
who found instant International success with the American Graffiti-esque
LEMON
POPSICLE. That film made him so popular in Germany that
the producers immediately signed him to this project and created a role
for him.
German
director Franz Joseph Gottlieb is a movie studio veteran who helmed
well over 80 films between 1956-2005. Initially, he was known for his
black-n-white thrillers based on the stories of Edgar Wallace. Later
he drifted to Lisa Studios where he befriended Sigi Rothemund (aka
Siggi Götz, known for movies like BEAUTIFUL
AND WILD OF IBIZA and COLA
CANDY CHOCOLATE) and was strongly influenced by Siggi's style
of filmmaking. Mr Gottlieb is probably best remembered for HANSEL
AND GRETEL: LOST IN THE WOODS and LADY
DRACULA. Franz Gottlieb died from a brain tumor at age 75 in
July 2006.
