I have seen this movie a number of times and enjoyed it. It was filmed in the 70's so its doesn't have the film quality of today, but its still good. I thought it was funny. I would love to have a copy of it to keep because I haven't seen it in a few years. I think its important to remember that it was filmed years and years ago in another country. The actors obviously spoke in a European language so the American version has other voices speaking English. Its a cute movie and I think we can all relate to that time in our lives when we were exploring sex and love. I think some people would have liked more nudity. As I recall there are a lot of above the waist views, but not much else. Enjoy!
When my friend and I bought this out of sheer curiosity, we weren't really expecting anything other than poorly filmed soft-core porn. Well, it's visually pretty grainy, and the voices are badly dubbed, but it's not really that much different from most other teen films today except for the fact that it doesn't try to be anything other than what it is; a teen comedy with a bit of female nudity. The two leads were nice to look at and, despite the campy feeling, most emotions on screen were realistic and palatable.
It's not a Scorsese but it's worth a look if you're bored or really like teen movies.
Not bad at all.

I love this movie! I love it because it's such an excellent vehicle for Nastassja Kinski, Fabiana Udenio, and several other nubile young women, including Véronique Delbourg! Nastassja and Véronique would have been 19 at the time this movie was produced, Fabiana only 14, which may be why the two former appeared nude, but Fabiana did not.
My favorite sequence in this movie was a striptease contest held in the attic of the boarding school. Nastassja's character, a student and the ring leader of the other girls who had decided to become prostitutes, hosted this event for some of the boys from an all male boarding school.
Several of the girls performed stripteases during this competition. They employed a variety of gimmicks. One girl belly danced. Another performed a swan-like ballet. Fabiana stripped out of an alligator costume (but only down to a bikini) to the tune of "See Ya Later, Alligator!" My favorite, however, was performed by Véronique Delbourg, who did a dance with a banana skirt, similar to Josephine Baker's. She passed out some of these bananas, but not enough to appear bottomless!
Nastassja did not compete, but she did treat one of the boys to a private, nude performance after the show. This is the most erotic footage of her I have ever seen!
If you find Nastassja Kinski or Fabiana Udenio attractive, and would like to see them and other beautiful actresses at their sexiest, this is a "must see"!

this movie was horrible. i cannot believe i wasted 100 minutes on THIS. my time would have been better spent if i had stared at the wall. i watch a lot of movies and have never seen anything this bad. im sorry for the producer, but im sure he REALLY needed the money if he chose to make this piece of garbage. save your money. if you want to see a movie like this, i suggest you record one and a half hours of trash rotting and watch that. itll be better than the movie
This is is one of a number of German films they used to show on late-night cable TV stations a lot in the late 70's and early 80's. But it's different than a lot of those other movies in that rather than being a sex-saturated, oom-pah-pah scrompfest, it's kind of coming-of-age film, not unlike the American teen comedies of the early 80's (it especially resembles the summer-camp classic "Little Darlings"). It's set at a Swiss boarding school where a bunch of girls decide, not only to lose their collective virginity to the boys at a school across the lake, but also to make money by charging them for it! (This is one movie I probably wouldn't expect a modern-day Hollywood re-make of). They have a surprising (and rather ridiculous) amount of trouble pulling this off though.
Even though this movie opens with a close-up of the bare breast of one of the older, bustier girls, this is actually surprisingly innocent movie with very little actual sex in it. It's very dumb but kind of sweet. The main attraction,of course, was Natsassia Kinski, who plays the new girl at the school, who becomes the catalyst for the whole thing after she meets a handsome guy from the boys' school on the train. Except for the topless girl at the beginning, Kinski pretty much provides all the nudity and sex here. She does a memorable striptease (out of an alligator costume!) for the boys at a party, and her de-virginising is the only one that occurs on-screen. Although she was not very old here, Kinski is not particularly believable as an inexperienced virgin (perhaps because in real-life she'd already had torrid affairs with Roman Polanski and Milos Forman by this time).The only other cast member that might look familiar is Fabiana Udenio, the Italian-Argentinean beauty who later played "Alotta Fagina" in the original "Austin Powers". She has only a very small role here though (and, even by German standards, she was too young at the time to really participate in the sexual shenanigans).
This movie doesn't compare to other late German-made cable fodder as a sex film (or to Kinski's truly erotic follow-up to this "Stay the Way You Are"). But although it has the disadvantage of being dubbed, it's really no dumber than most of the early 80's teen sex comedies (and it's one of the few that's about sexually curious girls rather than horny boys). It's worth seeing I guess.
