action

The film career, also given under the more apt title bed career, tells of the glamorous but unfulfilled life of the young and ambitious student Eva Ritter, who is pursuing that bed career in order to get to the top in society. She loves glamor and fashion more than anything ... and those men who are willing to finance such a luxury life for her. Her rise began when she was a model for fashion photos, then was allowed to present haute couture for the first time on the catwalk and finally landed as a cover girl on the cover of a corresponding glossy magazine. Eva fears nothing more than poverty, which she still has terrible memories of her time as an orphan, and mediocrity; her desire is limited to continuously advancing to pursue the eponymous career. There are plenty of men who allow themselves to be bewitched by the attractive glamor blonde. For example, there is a man of good age who has a tin mine, or the German steel baron Peter von Kessner, whom she married immediately after her first divorce. But the higher she rises financially and socially, the more she has to realize that this does not contribute to her happiness: In the end, the orphan Eva Ritter is rich and independent of a man's goodwill, but also lonelier and more unhappy than ever before.

Reviews

“Cinderella 1966 doesn't dwell long with the preface: orphan, photo model, Mrs. Zinnkönig and after a well-paid divorce baroness in steel and coal - bums, half the world belongs to her. However, if we can believe the pathetically presented art formulas of her suffering, the corporate mistress is not happy. There is a lack of love. So she has to trudge lonely through deep snow with furs and poodles. Your rise to prosperity amazes even the most innocent of minds with its "little Moritz atmosphere". The jewels become tinsel, the sparkling wine into lemonade. A cinematic lolly of life for children, guaranteed to be made with artificial coloring. "

- Hamburger Abendblatt from September 10, 1966

In the lexicon of international films it says: “Banal entertainment caught in clichés in a lavish luxury setting. Sentimental and mendacious, with obvious concessions to the supposed public taste. "
