And to think I've been looking for the specific IMDb- page of this flick for years! I only had the silly Dutch VHS-title to go by, but didn't know the original title or any of the names of cast and crew- members and thus didn't even know where to start my search. I browsed through all movies with key-words such as "Bavaria" and "sex comedy", but couldn't even verify if the displayed titles included the one I was looking for. Now, randomly, I just searched on that Dutch title and all of a sudden the correct one pops up! It was here all along, under the alternate alias that literally translates as "Let the Tyrolean Slide". Just for the record, there's absolutely nothing special about this film and it probably doesn't even rank amongst the better so-called Tyrol sex-comedies (of which the heyday was more during the second half of the seventies), but it definitely holds an emotional value for yours truly ever since he was an acne- faced and horny young teenager! Back then free pornography wasn't all over the Internet – heck, there wasn't even "The Internet" – and the only possibility for young brats like myself to check out boobies and a little bit of bush was to snoop around in our parents' video collection. My parents must be decent people, because they only had this one! I must have seen this movie over 30 times, and particular highlight sequences more than a 100 times, and each time I carefully rewound the tape to the point where I started so that my dad wouldn't find out. Ah, glory days…

But anyways, like I said, the film itself is a bunch of silly nonsense, hanging together by juvenile pranks and naughty sex sequences that probably look ridiculous these days. Peter Steiner, apparently a veteran in the genre, stars as Franz Mooshuber, the stern mayor of a sleepy little Bavarian town where tourists aren't welcome and where the local studs and damsels make love in the beautiful mountain meadows and ramshackle cow sheds. One day, Franz receives a letter invitation from the mayor of Cannes in the French Riviera, asking him to participate in the annual boat joust tournament. The mayor leaves for Cannes, together with his two buddies Willi and Xaverl. Willi is an incorrigible peeping tom and Xaverl has sex with pretty much every French beauty he meets (including a black hotel maid, a go-go dancer and a tournament cheerleader), but also Franz finds new love. When the jolly trio returns to their Bavarian town, they don't just bring back the joust trophy but also a bus full of sexy girls and ambitious plans to turn their village into a wild tourist resort. Okay, so sue me, but simply thinking back about movies like these bring a big juicy smile on my face. The lack of plot and coherence gets widely compensated by an overdose of charm and enthusiasm from the entire cast and crew. The acting performances are lousy, but particularly the starlets have other persuasive trumps! This film dates back to the era when the actresses were still your average girls from "down the street" with natural curves and authentic charisma. There aren't any ugly silicone breasts here and razorblades where only used for armpits and legs … if you know what I mean. The whole thing ends with a giant wedding party on a raft with plenty of beer, and they all lived happily ever after!
