9/10
An entertaining romp surprising in content and quality for the time
11 February 2007
I saw this movie on late night TV and thought it was a real "hoot". I loved it. Beautiful color and production. I am normally a lazy movie patron but was motivated to struggle through the English sub-titles of the original German since I found it so enjoyable. It would be enjoyable for any who value classic movies and look for unusual movie experiences. The nudity (which was, of course, surprising for the era) was mild and provided additional insight into the mores, as well as aesthetic tastes in beauty, of the place and time.

With the frivolity of this fantasy farce as the backdrop for a real educational opportunity, I would highly recommend it. I plan to purchase a copy so this unique film will be available for friends and family to enjoy in the future.

It is a novelty, for sure, but well worth the time.
