Peter and Sabine is a German love drama from 1968 by August Rieger with two teenagers in the title roles.
action
The classic story is told of the first erotic and sexual experiences, trials and tribulations, including several adolescents. The focus, however, is above all on the love story with obstacles of the two protagonists Sabine and Peter. The 16-year-old boy falls in love with Sabine, who is the same age. As expected, this meets with massive resistance from responsible parenting (at this time). Sabine's mother sends her daughter to boarding school as soon as she finds out about this delicate liaison and also suppresses Peter's letters to his young love. Peter is then desperate and begins to get drunk senselessly in a dance hall to the sound of beats.
The young bartender Gitte then takes care of him and takes Peter to her room. There he (allegedly) had his first sexual experiences. Because Gitte now claims to have become pregnant by him and tries to fleece the teenager financially. Peter wants to take his own life out of desperation because he believes he cheated on Sabine with Gitte. Before this act of desperation can happen, the boy is saved by his older brother Jens, who (according to another storyline) is having an affair with the experienced divorced Claudia.
Production notes
After the success of various educational films, producer Karls Spiehs decided to make such a film himself. Since Oswalt Kolle and other specialists in the field were contractually bound by the competition, he filmed Marie Louise Fischer's bestseller Wildes Blut .
Peter and Sabine passed the FSK on July 30, 1968 and was premiered on August 9, 1968.
The film structures were created by Hans Zehetner . Günther Eulau was in charge of production.
The 18-year-old Barbara Capell , who in this story is supposed to have a love affair with a 13-year-old (!), Played by the then 14-year-old Jan Koester , made her film debut here. 50s star Edith Mill gave her farewell performance in the movie here; she emigrated to Canada that same year.
Reviews
The Catholic film critics once reacted very violently to this story of first sexual experience. In their Handbuch Films 1965–70 it says: “A film version of a magazine novel, full of clichés, enriched with pseudo-enlightenment, unnecessarily revealing in some scenes. Out of the question as an educational film. "The Evangelical Film-Observer comes to a similar assessment :" More speculatively shot and sailing under a false flag as a 'help in life'. Without any recommendation. "
In the lexicon of international film it was decades later slightly milder: "The first erotic experiences and confusions of three youths. Film adaptation of a magazine novel by Marie Louise Fischer - full of clichés, enriched with pseudo-education (development of an egg cell, dangers of abortion). "
