Wonderful relic from the 1970s
18 September 2002
Anton Karas's famous Third Man melody opens this lovely sex satire and, together with the shrill colours, accounts for its very jaunty temper. A couple of machinations inside the fashion and clothing industry are introduced, combined with the sexual anarchy of a business man, most charmingly played by Barry Foster.

Also quite impressive his love interests: Delphine Seyrig and her film daughter Kirstie Pooley. (The third major female in the film forms a nice surprise for Austrian TV fans: Ellen Umlauf, the old gossip from Kaisermühlen Blues, can be seen here, much younger, speaking English and being dubbed by an elegant standard German voice!)

Robert van Ackeren's movie is a wonderful relic from the wild 1970s. It really raised my mood today!
