Come on, my dearest little bird ... is a German - Italian feature film by Rolf Thiele from 1968 with numerous erotic scenes that aim to convey 2000 years of moral history in Germany. In Italy it ran under the title Dio me l'ha data, guai a chi la tocca . The script was based on the novel And They Are Not Ashamed of Joachim Fernau . The main roles were cast by actors who were largely unknown at the time. The film premiered in the Federal Republic of Germany on December 20, 1968.
action
Presented by Gerd Baltus , the film presents an entertaining and revealing depiction of the moral history of sex in the course of human history. Come on, my dearest bird pretends to be a treatise on the evolution of human lust over the centuries. The representations of sexual behavior in the individual ages are said to be scientifically proven. A total of twelve epochs are dealt with in terms of sex history.
For example, a blonde couple romps through the Germanic undergrowth. The love games of our forefathers, so we learn, were rough, but cordial and free from any false shame, until the first Christian missionaries set new moral standards. Since then - it is insinuated - people have had a “broken relationship” with their instincts.
This is followed by sensual and romantic scenes from the age of love , excerpts of sexual greed in the Middle Ages with their bathing games, insights into the anti-sexual morality of the time of the witch hunt, as well as scenes of the sensual intoxication of the Renaissance and the Rococo, which is characterized by frivolity and lasciviousness .
Then, as the following episodes show, the 19th century began with its uptight sexual morality, followed by the modern age, the 20th century, with the obligatory sexuality during the time of fascism and the subsequent sexual revolution - including consumer sex and sexual ideology.
Production notes
With this film, Thiele's phase of soft sex films began in 1968, which only ended with his last directorial work, Rosemary's Daughter (1976). Was shot Come, my favorite little birds from 27 August to 21 November 1968. The exterior shots were taken in Munich and Salzburg , the interior shots in the Bavaria Studios Munich . Maleen Pacha designed buildings and costumes .
Sybil Danning made her film debut here; she as well as some of her young colleagues, including Barbara Capell and Christiane Rücker , were topless in this film.
criticism
“Rolf Thiele's repeated attempt to use the sex wave. This time he is glossing over 2000 years of German “moral history”. Crude silliness dominates most of the episodes; Joke and irony are embarrassingly missed. "
“Even listing the moral images is boring and the film does the same. That is perhaps a little unfair, because the effort for this play of light is considerable and the accompanying text is not at all unwise. But still this juxtaposition of scenic splendor, pretty costumes and light frivolities tires the viewer surprisingly quickly. "
