Eros-Center Hamburg is an early German sex film with crime thriller elements from 1969 from the Alois Brummer production.

action

Hamburg, on the amusement mile in the red light district. One day the young Biggy is found murdered in the Eros Center and everyone who was there that day is suspected of having committed the bloody act. The main suspects include Biggy's Italian friend Riccardo, with whom she had a row the night before and whom she loudly threw out, as well as a lawyer who ran into the prostitute with his abnormal wishes, as well as the American journalist Eddy Green, who worked for a Wanted to collect sensational gimmicky "background report" on site. And then there is also that older regular customer, whom everyone just calls "Professor" and who first examines the girls with rubber gloves before he tries to give them an injection. That ominous Baron von Schleck from the provinces is also among the suspects, since his wife, who was armed with an umbrella, caught him red-handed during a sexual act. Last but not least, there is a group of depraved and brutal pimps that Biggy wanted to have for one of their perverted private shows in the homes of wealthy customers. Biggy's colleagues in the Eros Center are also acting more than strangely. So there is a lot to do for detective inspector Peters. In the end there is a surprising solution to this case.

Production notes

Eros-Center Hamburg was created between May 15 and June 30, 1969 in Munich-Pasing , Hamburg and Frankfurt am Main and was premiered on October 3, 1969.

Here and later, producer Alois Brummer always made sure that the costs of making his films were kept as low as possible. In addition, it said in the mirror : “The girls are portrayed by girls - strippers or acting women before the breakthrough. Brummer finds them with the help of classified ads, and when he has determined that they are in perfect condition, he hires them for a small fee. Because frugality, Brummer's Bavarian rural heritage, controls the production process. Others may film a scene seven times, Brummer only lets it shoot three times. Atelier costs money - Brummer cranks in the cellars, on the stairs and in the living rooms of his home. "

reception

"They aren't ingenious, my films, but ingenious films are no business either."

- Alois Brummer

In Films 1965/70 the following can be read: “The cheap story is a poor excuse to show sex and crime in all variations. Unreasonable in dialogue and image. Also in terms of craftsmanship under every level.
