After hearing from a friend about how much he enjoyed watching a German Sex Comedy called Swedish Playgirls, which I had picked up for his birthday earlier in the year,I decided that for a Christmas present,I would pick him up a German Sex Comedy,that would literally hit the "bottom" of the barrel!, of the sub-genre.

The plot:

Discovering that he has found a way to transform cow manure into oil,Prof.Solo visits a local gas station,so that he can fuel up his car,and then drive to a near by big city.As he waits for his car to be filled,Solo is shot in the bottom by 2 spy's who are desperate to get hold of his discovery for themselves.Fearing that he is about to die,Solo passes the micro film to the gas station owner,who he request to keep his manure discovery out of the smelling distance of the two deadly spy's.

View on the film:

Opening with an extremely catchy title track,director Franz Josef Gottlieb gives the movie a charmingly slap-dash atmosphere,with Gottlieb juggling a wacky mad scientist spy adventure,with very good broad slap- stick moments,which are given an additional alluring boost,thanks to a ravishing performance from Eva Garden.

For the screenplay of the film,writer Hubert Frank decides to take a detour from the central plot of the movie,and to instead take a close look at the residence of Solo's town.Whilst Frank's approach does allow for some extra flesh barring,daft,fun moments to be included,it also leads to the paternally wonderful manure scientist V deadly spy's plot to become overly stretched and muddled,which leads to this movie not being able to fully pull itself up from the bottom of the pile.
