This French film must have seemed very steamy back in the early 1960s, though today it seems very tame and rather silly. In fact, while it seems like a sex film (and is, at times rather sexy), it is all tease and no please. This, combined with the silliness of the acting and characters make it, at best, an odd curio about another time and another place. I noticed that one viewer gave it a 10--mostly because the star, Elke Sommer, scorched up the screen. Well, scorching or not, this wasn't nearly enough for me to recommend you watch it. In other words, the film's deficits clearly outweigh its strengths.
The film is set in post-war Europe. A small group of selfish young hedonists live to have fun--regardless of the consequences. They drink, party, make love (though you never see anything) and party some more. One day, while quite bored, the male ringleader of this group of jerks comes up with a plan--he wants his girlfriend (Elke) to seduce an uptight rich guy and bring him over to their way of life. The results are predictable and much like a late 50s-early 60s exploitation fare. Nothing particularly enjoyable about the film unless you want to watch it with friends and laugh at it.
