This triple X-rated comedy mixes sex and laughs in equal amounts, if you're in the mood for some seventies style swingers from Germany that is. Thosw who prefer to watch well honed bodies and people that actually look good, please look elsewhere. Hans Billian's pictures feature the kind of people you might bump into walking down the street (thirty years ago). Most of them may not look like much, but at least they are real people practicing actual sex and on the whole, they really seem to be enjoying themselves. It reminds me of the similar, soft core "Blutjunge Verfuhringen" series of films in which the only really good looking girl was Ingrid Steeger and all the men were fat and ugly. It used to bother me when I was younger, but the advent of years has changed my perspective. Now I see that here are ordinary, everyday people having an extraordinary amount of sex. What makes Kasimir stand out above the rest however, is a genuinely silly and amusing script that works it way up to a satisfying climax, combining the film into something simply screaming to be called 'cult classic'.

Sepp Gneissl, known to some as the German Ron Jeremy, has the time of his life playing Kasimir Zwickelhuber, debt collector. His nickname, 'Kukuckslkleber' comes from the fact that any item he impounds gets stuck with a sticker of a cuckoo. Being a reasonable man, Kasimir allows his debtors (all female, of course) to settle their debt in Natura. The deal is for him to auction the women off and settle all costs without their husbands ever finding out. All participating women are naturally tested by Kasimir first, and receive his cuckoo stamp of approval on their behind, 'the one place their husbands won't notice it'. Der Kuckuckskleber enjoys his job so much, he is willing to work Saturdays, trying out the timid Frau Ursula Berger, followed by semi professional Larissa Holt (Patricia Rhomberg, the original 'Josephine Mutzenbacher' herself). After that he finds himself unable and unwilling to do his horny wife any justice back home.

Having managed to sort of satisfy his dirty wife with the use of some house hold appliances (this scene borders on being more disturbing than funny), it's back to work for the Big K. He manages to win over a lesbian couple Sigrid and Heidi (who discover his member measures up favorably to their rubber Gummi Knuppels) and rounds up his entire clientèle for the big auction scene. Here four of the girls try to take on eight wealthy donors. Unfortunately, Ursula's husband finds out and crashes the party to fetch her near it's climax. Normally, this would be the end of it, but Billian has another ace up his sleeve: the wronged husband has Kasimir tried before a female judge (what a surprise), played by Anita Andic wearing the most trendy haircut in the entire picture. Kasi claims he was just doing his job, confiscating female flesh instead of property, and Larisa proposes he demonstrates his methods using the Judge as a victim. In no time the entire court and all the spectators join in with the orgy that becomes the high point of the picture. Notice that of the five men present in this scene, one has a go at all four participating women. Must have been a friend of the producers.

"Kasimir der Kuckuckskleber" is a West German German-language film from 1977, so it will have its 40th anniversary next year. The director here is Hans Billian and this is a film in color that runs for slightly under 90 minutes. The title already gives away a bit what this is about. It is a comedy and the main character is Kasimir Zwickelhuber played by the late Sepp Gneissl. And if you have heard the names Billian or Gneissl before (very unlikely, I know), you also know what to expect here, namely lots of sex from start to finish. But this is far from all of it in the case of this very film. It is actually really funny, sometimes even hilarious, in terms of the comedy that mostly arises from the characters' quotes, sometimes also from their actions. We have a man working in a profession where he has to collect debts from usually young attractive women and he has his very own way of doing so. They are not able to pay with money, so they pay him otherwise, but not through sex with the man himself as you would expect from a low-quality porn movie. This one here is smarter. He makes a mark on the women's butts, which means they are sold to the country and property of the country or city or town or whatever and later on, every woman with a mark is sold to the highest bidder. The resulting auction turns into a huge orgy of course and in the end the man has to go to court for his obscene practices on housewives. But you already know how this works out. The angry husband leaves the courtroom and the lawyers, judges, audience and of course the accused have another wild orgy.

If you take a look at the title of my review, then you see a reference to Erwin S. Dietrich, a Swiss filmmaker who was really known for sex comedies back in the day and who delivered them in great quantity - and very low quality, referring to both the sex and the comedy. Watching Hans Billian's film here really could have told him how to do it. There are many really funny quotes in here, the girls are hot, especially Anita Andic who got me in the mood the very first time I saw her and I definitely would not have minded starring next to her. All the time. The other actresses were fairly attractive too, especially for me who prefers brunettes as there were many more brunettes than blondes in here. Yes, sometimes it was too much sex and too little comedy, but it is all bearable and very watchable, especially if you are horny. But like I already said a couple times, the area where this really shines is the comedy. Gneissl is on top of his game and his comments are excellent and very funny in terms of what he says and how he says it. It is really uncommon for a German sex film to be a bit of a cult movie, especially in terms of comedy, but I am not surprised at all by the status achieved by this one here. I certainly recommend the watch. And pay attention to the word "Kleber" used in the title that really gets an entirely new meaning in the context of the film, one that is impossible to explain to non-German speakers.
