Ein echter Hausfrauenfreund

I saw this as part of the "Bavarian Sex Comedy Collection". I'd recommend the collection in general because two of the films were pretty good, but this one, however. . . Unlike a couple of the other movies in the collection there's nothing especially "Bavarian" about this silly, badly dubbed Teutonic sex comedy. A young married man somehow ends up becoming the resident stud of a luxury hotel in the German countryside. Naturally, his clientèle is made up of the kind of women who in real life would NEVER have to pay for sex. The three main actresses consist of his (slightly) plump but pretty young wife, a (slightly) older but sexy client who falls in love with him, and his ridiculously hot female shrink (who you just know is gonna end butt naked in some kind of professionally compromising position before the movie's over).

The guy is seeing a shrink as the result of impotence caused by various "traumas" in his "job". One woman (perhaps the best looking one in the movie) seduces him as he's sitting by a scenic waterfall while her elderly voyeur husband watches through binoculars--but then the voyeur gets jealous and decides to interruptus the coitus and finish the job himself. He next has a strange encounter with a pampered rich girl in a hammock. Then there's a girl who really likes biting stuff (you can pretty much guess how that turns out). There's also the maid of the inn who has a very homely face but a very un-homely rear end who he "accidentally" services much to the chagrin of the lecherous bellboy. But perhaps the funniest and sexiest scene involves a bespectacled PhD student who has trouble reaching and orgasm (she hilariously reads a book while our hero labors away) until he discovers her very bizarre(but admittedly pretty sexy)kink. This girl is played by the only actress (I think) I might have recognized, Puppa Armbruster, who was in a number of "Schulmadchen-Report" movies--and if sexy "older" women paying for sex stretches credibility, a pretty young thing like this doing it could only happen in the fantasyland of a goofball European sex comedy.

But I guess if you want realism, you should see a documentary or something. This movie is terminally stupid, but I guess it does what it does OK.

fairly standard 70's European t & a farce, about a male prostitute servicing the rich and lonely female customers at an exclusive countryside inn, focusing on his sexual exploits and the troubles they cause him, mentally, physically, and morally. not much more to it than that, just an excuse for plenty of full female nudity, though they did at least try and build a bit of characterization around the action. unfortunately, the women for the most part were not very attractive, we spent more time making fun of their bodies than being titillated. however, there were some actual funny moments in this, and it wasn't too horribly done, and the dvd transfer was really quite good, they obviously had a good print to work with. the english voiceovers weren't bad either, there was actually some effort to to this well i think......

This film about a male prostitute called Albert (played by Peter Hamm) is not a nitty-gritty fetch-the-hypodermic-needle-out-of-the-s****y drama. Instead, it is one of those German sex comedies from the mid-70s. In other words, this is exploitation cinema of the silly kind: the target audience is male and the main selling point are beautiful women (who else would require the services of a male prostitute?) in the nude experiencing the rumpy-pumpy. Director Nachmann put in a real effort making the sex scenes more inventive and interesting, presumably helped by the relaxed censorship constraints of 1975. The comedy elements also work a little better than in the average genre flick, and they might have worked even better still had anybody bothered to tell Margaret Rose Keil that this film was supposed to be a comedy.

Especially noteworthy are some quirky scenes (mostly towards the beginning) in which our Albert is clearly at the receiving end of sexism. That is done very nicely. Sadly, the makers felt compelled to balance these scenes by giving the film a male-triumphant ending. In other words: the inequality of the sexes is preserved, but the chance to make a better film was missed.

Although the Italian title of this movie really is "Marito tutto fare" I should warn that the video distributed by Tabu Video in Italy under this name has taken the credits from this film and then combined them with a very different movie, i.e. "Kasimir, der Kuckuckskleber". The attached booklet suggests that Tabu Video were themselves deceived, because they seem to believe that Peter Hamm played the role of Kasimir.
