Directed by Ernst Hofbauer
My rating: BOMB
IMDb
(DVD, Mars Pictures)
Dated German sex comedy about lonely housewives and their activities while the husband is away. It's a series of vignettes connected by documentary-style interviews with people on the street. The eroticism relies completely on nudity, not altogether different from British sex comedies of the era. I suppose this was fun back in 1971 at the drive-in, but it will severely test your patience today. The Mars Pictures "Burbank Drive-In" release on DVD is a misframed "widescreen" presentation. Composition is compromised throughout: heads are chopped off and other anatomy parts are missing at the top or bottom of the screen, even the director's name is missing in the titles. If they had left off the mattes it would have been just fine.
