The yellow house in Pinnasberg is a German erotic film by Alfred Vohrer, known from the Edgar Wallace films, from 1970 and a typical representative of this genre. It was based on the novel of the same name by Bengta Bischoff , who, as the narrator, leads through the film herself. The film was distributed abroad under the distribution title The Sex Nest .

action

The so-called yellow house on Pinnasberg is a Hamburg brothel for women, which is run authoritatively by “General” Werner Zibell, supported by his busy porter Majordomus (called Paganini). After the death of one of his employees, he engaged the sociology student Stefan Bornemann, who wanted to carry out empirical studies on the behavior of women under the name Columbus. The most varied of erotic preferences of women are presented in the different chapters of the film, each of which is introduced by a narrator. After all, business and private life are intertwined. Zibell's sister-in-law Emmy marries one of the employees of the yellow house; Stefan falls in love with Luise Zibell, the daughter of the brothel owner. His anger is finally appeased by his wife Clarissa, who disapproves of the hustle and bustle in the yellow house. She finally persuades him to accept Stefan as his son-in-law and to sell the yellow house. Since there are enough interested parties because of the good business, the sale is not a problem. This happens just in time, because the work on a subway tunnel leads to the collapse of the house shortly afterwards.

Production notes

Reviews

• Lexicon of international film : "A clumsy comedy that tries to distinguish itself from the usual sex film junk through its satirical tone, but ultimately ends in the lower parts of the genre."
• Evangelical film observer : "An attempt at a funny, ironic and parodic sex film about a brothel 'with the opposite sign', which succeeds in places, but in the long run adapts to the usual films of the genre and is boring."
