What parents don't even think of

Warning: Spoilers
This is the third of 13 "Schulmädchen Report" movies and it was released only roughly half a year after movie 2. It is the last one that won the Golden Screen (an award for films that were big hits at the box office) and also the last one that had Friedrich von Thun in the cast. He is still fairly known today. The movie runs for 93 minutes and is one of the longest of the whole franchise. The film's director is Ernst Hofbauer and he also directed some of the sequels still to come. The co-director is Walter Boos and he also directed some of the sequels. Also, he was an assistant director on the German Academy award nominee "The Devil Came at Night".

Early on, in this film, there is the question what can the filmmakers still give us that is new and interesting. Funnily enough, there were still 10 "Schulmädchen"-films made after this. And among the new things they offer us a group rape scene and a ruthless janitor who blackmails the victim for his own sexual pleasure. I also felt that this film was a bit more critical towards men than the 2 previous films. The horny teacher would be an example who keeps touching all his female students except the one obese girl. Apart from him, there is a sequence about a father who abuses his own daughter. There were not really many taboos here anymore in the early 70s. And there is a Lolita tale. Pay attention to how in one scene a bottle is right where a man's genital is. I mentioned taboos earlier and male nudity was pretty much the only one left. This goes also for all the other "Schulmädchen" films. It's also an indicator that there is not much scientific value to these and that it's all pretense as the filmmakers knew that men who watch these films to get horny will really be turned off by male genitalia. The last part is about a suicidal couple and intended as the dramatic highpoint I guess, but it was not that well-executed at all. In my opinion, this film is still better than most or all of the sequels, but it is still not a good movie at all.
