"Was Eltern gern vertuschen möchten" or "What Parents Would Gladly Hush Up" (and there is a couple more English-language titles out there) is a West German German-language film from 1973 and it is the sixth entry to the German (in)famous Schulmädchen/Schoolgirl series, a collection of German soft-core porn films from the 1970s that also include some humor and occasionally even a lesson that the filmmaker are trying to teach the audience. Hofbauer directed this film and Heller wrote it based on the book by Hunold and Seelmann. As always with these films, there are several short stories included in here that are all somehow (well not really) linked to the main story early on. This main story is about a teenage girl and teenage boy being in love, but they get caught having sex on campus and are in danger of being expelled. Other stories include a female lesbian teenager who has a crush on her teacher and tries to blackmail her into having sex with her. And this is not the only teacher-student relationship in this one. The film, also as always, works best when it does not take itself seriously at all and the moral message is pretty ridiculous. It runs for almost 90 minutes, so it's one of the longer films of the franchise, which was long from over at this point, even if this was already the fifth film. As a whole, this was not a good watch. It can really only be seen as something positive from the guilty pleasure perspective. But even there, there are many better Schulmädchen films. Thumbs down.
