Baden verboten

Johann Schwarzer was a director of early porn films with pretensions of an artistic nature. According to the 'Europa Film Treasures' website on which this film can be seen, he touted Saturn Films, the company he created to make films such as Baden Verboten, as a quality production company, stating in the company's catalogue, 'We wish to inform you that our films are artistic creations. The worst would be to ruin this aesthetic balance by lack of taste, for our films are high quality.'

At the end of the day, it's a skin flick made for men who wanted to see women without their clothes on and who no doubt couldn't give a jot about any artistic merit the film might contain. The young ladies are fetching, but very self-conscious, and it has to be said that not a lot of time seems to have been spent at rehearsals. Its age gives it a certain curiosity (and historical) value, but that's about it.
