Only reason why this film got released by Atlantic pictures in 1982 is because young Kinski was in the film. Other than that, this film would've been lost in the drive-in market (I think it played in 1977 as PRETTY SCHOOL GIRLS in some US market in the 70's). Little laugh and bad dubbing, but it's good to see a early performance from two beautiful actresses Kinski and Udenio (who is in many U.S. films).
This film was apparently made the same year as "Debbie Does Dallas" with highly similar plot lines. School girls form a "company" offering sexual services. Only in this film the girls charge money, not because they need it, but they believe that they should be compensated for their "sacrifice", even though they were the ones itching to lose their virginity. They offer their "services" to the boys school across the bridge, who promptly form a "company" of clients. Through a series of mishaps, no one seems to get laid.
This film starts off rather promisingly with the camera focused on a pair of breasts on par with Shannon Elizabeths (not quite though, these girls were real teenagers and plastic surgery was less common then). The girls appear in various states of undress and do a shower scene together. But since apparently they were under age (Fabiana Udenio was fourteen, Natassia Kinski seventeen). There clothes stay on during the sexual encounters.
I must admit that this film grows on you with repeated viewings and with time--I dont think this film could be made today with the strict child pornography laws in the U.S.
If you want to see some gorgeous girls in their flowering womanhood, this one is one of the tops--despite a weak plot.

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 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.

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!

- GoofsThe film takes place in the 1950s, yet the girls dance and hula-hoop to a 1968 recording of Bill Haley's "Rock-a-Beatin' Boogie."
