from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alois Brummer (born May 12, 1926 in Mainburg ; † May 4, 1984 in Munich ) was a German producer, screenwriter and director of sex comedies in the context of the sex wave .

Life

The farmer's son Alois Brummer participated in the war and founded a freight forwarding company in Ingolstadt after the end of the war . Through a debtor he became the owner of two cinemas, after which he turned more and more to the world of film during the time of the cinema miracle. From 1961 he began to distribute films himself. In addition to documentaries and crime films, he also offered sex films.

From 1968 he produced his sex films himself. He completely renounced the educational or reportage style of that time and placed the comedy in the foreground. He thought of the plot himself, and from 1970 he also took on directing.

His first film Graf Porno and his Girls was a success. Rinaldo Talamonti , later one of the busiest actors in the sex film genre, got his first role here. "My films are not witty," Brummer explained in 1969, "but witty films are not business either."

In 1969, the filmmaker Hans-Jürgen Syberberg shot a documentary about Brummer's filmmaking, commissioned by ZDF, entitled Sex-Business - Made in Pasing . But the latter felt exposed by the film and withdrew completely from the public. He renounced the golden screen he was entitled to for the first Graf porn film.

Brummer made himself by the fact that he - in the era of New German Cinema - always emphasized his financial interests, few friends. His intention to shoot a documentary about his hometown Mainburg in 1970 was thwarted by the responsible authorities by refusing the shooting permit.

After pornography was released in Germany in 1975, he loaned out numerous American porn films and later released them as videos under his own label. One of the most famous films he had distributed was the exploitation film Big Snuff by the producer couple Roberta and Michael Findlay, which allegedly contained a real murder scene. The scandalous film was finally confiscated and Brummer was reported (unsuccessfully) for assault.

Brummer was married at least twice, for the second time from 1970 to 1973. He died on May 4, 1984 in his villa at Berrschestrasse 5 in Pasing, after falling from a ladder there.
