Tinto Brass' once-controversial film is essentially pompous tat, though its five admirers should note that this release includes 21 minutes of previously-censored Nazi-panky.

Helmut Berger runs a brothel to spy on the German elite, and goes mad in a series of increasingly silly scenes. His favourite prozzie, upset when her boyfriend is hanged with piano wire, vows to ruin his life.

Meanwhile, madame Ingrid Thulin pines for the pre-War days when perverts could flog each other silly and listen to sub-Kurt Weill ditties without politics coming into it, and when black leather jackboots really meant something.

Pompous tat that fails to be controversial, or particularly diverting.
