As Maliciosas Aventuras de uma Loura

The absolutely one and only reason to watch this cinematic stinkeroo is to see the cast of "Hogan's Heroes" in a Cold War setting rather than World War II. (And that's a dubious enough reason.) Instead of Nazi Germany being run by a bunch of bumbling idiots, in this film, it's East Germany. The taste of the original television series was questionable, and this film only underlines that judgement. Avoid it if you can.

The idea of using the Hogan's Heroes cast in a cold war farce could have been delicious. The Paula Schultz character, her circumstances, and goals, could have made for a very interesting cold war farce. Bob Crane, stepping out of character, to form a complex blend of con man, sadist, and American patriot, had definite possibilities. Unfortunately, when they put them all together. This is the mess they got. I can hardly believe that George Marshall (!!!) is the credited director on this disjointed, slapsticky, murky mess.

Yep, I agree with the previous reviewer that this film is similar to Hogan's Heroes (sort of) except it is set in 1967 when it was filmed and in Commie East Deutschland instead of WW2 Nazi Deutschland.

I received a bootleg copy in the mail today and I did indeed buy it only for the pop culture kitsch of seeing Bob Crane, Werner Klemperer, Leon Askin and John Banner playing 'contemporary' characters in 1960's clothing. John Banner does not have his Schultz mustache in this movie, but he sure plays the character just like good old Sgt.Schultz circa 1943. 1967 contemporary settings and costumes or not, these actors were already forever typecast as Col. Robert E. Hogan, Col. Wilhelm Klink, Gen. Albert Burkhalter and Sgt. Hans Schultz.

I liked this movie a little, for the single reason that is: the beautiful Elke Sommer is so hot! Wow! She was in her prime.

This film was made and released just as the MPAA film board was loosening its' grip on the movie studios ability to write and film and release 'naughtier' and 'sexier' (and more violent) adult themed movies, so this movie is a wee bit risqué by 1967 standards but is quite tame by todays standards. It's a typical goofy 1960's sex comedy.

Knowing what we know now about the private sex life of Bob Crane, seeing him do a sex comedy while riding the crest of the wave of Hogan's Heroes fame is interesting. Werner Klemperer was apparently a skirt chaser in real life as well, having been married multiple times.

My great joy out of all this is the knowledge that I finally have the autographs of Bob Crane, Werner Klemperer, John Banner and Leon Askin and the rest of the Hogans Heroes cast. The only ones I am missing are Howard Caine, a semi-regular cast member who played Maj. Hochstetter, the SS interrogator, and Fraulein Hilda/Helga, played by Bob Crane's future wife, Sigrid Valdis.

IF YOU KNOW OF ANYBODY WHO HAS THESE AUTOGRAPHS FOR SALE PLEASE MESSAGE ME THROUGH IMDb! I cannot find them anywhere! Not even on the most famous online auction site....Especially Howard Caine's.

This movie, like many comedy pictures from earlier in the sixties and the prior decade, includes some slapstick humor, a guy and a girl being pursued by bad guys, and a series of romantic misunderstandings that lead to outlandish situations and humorous dialog. In addition to that, add some major characters from Hogan's Heroes to a film that, again, pokes fun at some seriously misguided Germans, and you have a picture that is fun to watch, for those who get it. The setting for the picture is Germany in the cold war era, so in this case, the bumbling villains are East German communists instead of world war two Nazis.

This movie is probably not for everyone. If you are not fond of fifties and sixties romantic comedies that substitute somewhat risqué innuendo for graphic sex scenes, then you may find this movie to be too mild. If you thought that Hogan's Heroes' theme of mocking Europe's second world war oppressors was in poor taste, then you may find this film to be just as distasteful. If you hold the view that soviet communism was a great idea that was misunderstood and you can't wait for Vladimir Putin to restore it to eastern Europe, then you will probably hate this movie. However, if you are not among those who hold such views, then you may find that this picture contains some enjoyably ironic humor and is fun to watch. Just sit back and enjoy this light comedy with Bob Crane and Elke Sommer.

This trashy cheap comedy has only one reason to be preserved. That saving grace is Elke Sommers. Elke is the most beautiful actress in Hollywood. Her costumes were amazing. They showed so much but still concealed. She is constantly losing her clothes in delightful ways. The scene in the white satin dress is the stuff that dreams are made of. Her expressions, her voice, her accent, her hair, her eyes...I can watch that scene over & over again. That sounds adolescent, but I was an adolescent when I first watched this film. Elke had many other good scenes:her fight with agent outside the club was fun as were the high jump over the tower of bottles; dancing on the bed wearing a bedspread;the torn dress that belonged to Forman's wife (who is also quite comely in a different way). So why not give it a ten? Because the awful script & the clumsy antics of the East German agents rate a 0. I will give it +1 for Joey Forman's believability and +7 for Elke. In summary, not an ounce of appeal for women and only has appeal for men who still recall their adolescent dreams.
