Otto und die nackte Welle is a German film game from 1968 with Otto Lüthje as Otto, Heidi Kabel as his wife Erna and numerous other popular actors from the Hamburg Ohnsorg Theater .
action
Otto Sanftleben is a long-established Hamburg actor and narrow-film amateur and is fundamentally against publicly presented nudity. Everywhere he has to notice these "dirty things" and turns away, yuckles, disgusted. In order to recover from the den of iniquity of his big city home, Otto now and then moves to the Lüneburg Heath , where he can at most admire naked sheep, there called Heidschnucken , and put them on celluloid. But when he was there, he was shocked to discover that the sinful nudes had spread here as well - and that was just to the fun of his colleague Hans von Noeltinghoff, who would rather ban naked girls than anything else in his films.
With these photos, the actor can earn quite a few extra marks. Noeltinghoff plays a trick on the piqued Otto and cuts some of the nude photos he made into his contemplative nature film material. As a result, Spießer Sanftleben gradually got a taste for it, and soon he was more attracted to well-formed, naked women's breasts than grass swaying in the wind or bleating sheep. Otto admires Noeltinghoff's “treasures” and, to the horror of his wife Erna, who values “custom and morality”, wants to get into the business of Nackedei photos as quickly as possible. One day the theater in which he is engaged offers his favorite role, and so Otto Sanftleben returns to his small, ideal world with his back on the "naked wave".
Production notes
Otto and the Naked Wave was intended as a parody of the wave of sex and educational films that was rampant at the time and was released on November 29, 1968.
The film has no connection with the comedy Otto is keen on women, which appeared in the same year .
Reviews
“Ohnsorg Theater's team of actors tries to translate television fame into sounding film money. You take yourself and the "naked wave" played up by magazines and canvas drums properly on the shovel. The fact that the film plot turned out to be very thin and small, but the breast and legs view was huge, is sometimes funny, but in the long run tiring. "
The following can be read in Films 1965-70: "The poor plot serves as a hook for a penetrating nude show - we advise against it."
In the lexicon of the international film it says: “A homeland friend and a sex filmmaker clash when shooting in the Lüneburg Heath, until the sex producer has won over the hobby lover for his“ hobby ”. Boring sex clothes. "
The Protestant film observer did not come to a better assessment either: "The clumsy attempt to appeal to two different audiences at the same time through the joint use of the Hamburg Ohnsorg Theater and English nude strips could only end in disappointing disappointment for both tastes."
