Steigenwald, however, sends his office manager Siegbert Lahner to get rid of them. Lahner falls in love with Alexandra, which means that the young woman is torn between the two men. After Steigenwald suddenly has to fly to Zurich on a business trip , Alexandra works with a photographer, with whom she does not stay long.

criticism
"The film 'Playgirl' [...] is [...] next to Alexander Kluge's ' Farewell to Yesterday ' the best that the young German film has produced so far."
“This superficial strip looks more like an illustrated Bravo love story, but less revealing than it does nowadays. So this is not a portrayal of customs of the time, but simply a banal entertainment film that is ostensibly interested in bed stories. "
“Alleged social criticism in a deliberately unconventional manner, which cannot cover up mental idleness even through speculative individual scenes. In this respect superfluous and to be rejected. "
