action

Finally summer, finally school holidays! The two friends Peter and Freddy want to travel to Ibiza to enjoy the sun, sea and of course lots of girls. It starts with Freddy's car, Peter supposedly has a place to stay on site. The problems begin before the start, however, because Freddy's younger sister Vicky really wants to come along, which the two boys, for whom Vicky is just a little nerd with ugly braces and glasses, have absolutely no desire. At a rest stop, the two would-be rioters meet two attractive ladies, but they don't get a shot because tooth-braces Vicky scares the pretty ones just by looking at them. Now the almost 17-year-old is finally through with the boys below, and especially the hormone-laden Peter would be happy to get rid of her as soon as possible. While Peter, who absolutely wants to achieve the magic number of 100 female conquests on this summer trip, now struggles with the ladies and does not get a millimeter closer to his goal, the quiet Freddy has one conquest after the other because of various circumstances and his benefit from interesting shyness.

During the first night the three eat in a restaurant. An attractive blonde flirts with Peter until Vicky, who has previously taken off her braces and the glasses frame - which the boys do not realize, however, as a monkey clings to him. Then the lady is interested in Freddy, who thus comes to his first conquest. In Monte Carlo, Vicky gets to know the much older playboy Jacky at the marina, whom she pretends to be her lover in front of her companions. The handsome guy has nothing against this little white lie, unlike the two immature boys, he is able to look behind their nerd facade. In order to have Vicky around for a longer time, he invites her and her two companions to a beach party. Here Peter thinks he will finally get a shot when he meets Jacky's well-formed wife Helga, who sends clear signals through an erotic dance performance. Peter is sent away to get more champagne. In the process, he involuntarily disrupts Vicky's unwanted approach of the playboy. In the meantime, his wife has already approached friend Freddy and Freddy can remove another centimeter from the tailor's tape measure. On the following day, Freddy discovers his attractive math teacher lying topless on the beach, who recently failed his high school diploma. In order to possibly get revenge at some point, he quickly takes a few photos of her. When she noticed, she first took the photos away from him, but gave them back to him and arranged to meet him for the evening in a disco. At sunrise they both went to the beach and bathed naked. The jealous lounger landlord also had an eye on the math teacher and then hid both of their things. Freddy then decides to go into a nearby house to organize replacement clothes and gets into an affair with the lady of the house, which is abruptly interrupted by the return of the husband. While the woman tries to appease the suspicious husband by making love, Freddy lies naked with the lover under the marriage bed.

When they arrived in Spain, the three travelers from Germany, after buying a melon from a street vendor and eating in the shade, had their vehicle stolen, but after a long walk, they met the pretty Inez in the next town. She is the proud owner of a red sports car and immediately finds Peter's interest. This doesn't suit Vicky at all, as she has long since fallen in love with Peter while they were together. Disappointed by Peter, who is simply too stupid to recognize the real Vicky, she runs away in Ibiza and goes to the party beach in Ibiza (Platja de ses Salines), where she is immediately addressed clearly, which does not suit her. In Ibiza, Peter's alleged housing opportunity turns out to be a mirage, which makes Freddy angry, so that he gives him a black eye at Peter's request. Inez, who foresaw the fallacy based on Peter's description, offers her accommodation, which turns out to be a noble villa. This belongs to a wealthy dentist from Madrid, whose assistant is the self-confident Inez. The damaged Peter gets empty and Freddy tears off another 4 centimeters the next day, until Peter points out to him that this applies to women. At breakfast the next morning at Mary y Sol at the port of Eivissa , the two of them are invited to a pool party by Inez and her (impotent) dentist. In response to the refusal that they would rather look for Vicky, Vicky replies that Vicky is at this party when she is in Ibiza. Vicky is actually at the party and defies Peter's attempt to take her away from the party so that she can finally get "sensible". When Vicky asked why, Peter finally got the penny and he confessed to her (and himself) that he loved her.

Production notes

Summer Night Fever was shot on 21 days between June 12 and July 18, 1978. The film was shot in Ibiza , Saint-Tropez , Monte Carlo , Verona and Munich . It was completed on August 23, 1978. The film premiered on August 31, 1978 in Mainz (Germany) and Klagenfurt (Austria).

Klaus Haase was responsible for the equipment, and Rolf Albrecht designed the costumes . Erich Tomek was the production manager, Otto W. Retzer was the production manager .

Carl Schenkel was still working as an assistant director, the following year producer Karl Spiehs made it possible for him to direct his own film with Count Dracula (now biting) in Upper Bavaria .

The strip is of film historical importance in view of the fact that Thomas Gottschalk made his cinema debut here. He can be seen briefly as a DJ during the opening credits, but doesn't speak a word. Producer Karl Spiehs, impressed by his work as a disc jockey at BR 3, hired Gottschalk as a music consultant and gave him his first brief appearance, of course as a DJ.

Music track

Already in the opening credits it is indicated that "10 disco successes of the international hit parades" will be played. These are u. a. around

criticism

The lexicon of international films described the film as "a piece of clothing that tries to swim with the wave of success of films like Saturday Night Fever and wants to sell freedom of movement as emancipation and a modern way of life in the ridiculous plot backed by successful disco hits." Kay less mentioned in Das the film's large personal lexicon, the product is a "silly sun-teenie sex game".

Much friendlier presumed film echo / film week , director Siggi Götz had taken a close look at the film Her with the little English women, since the main actor Stephane Hillel also played the irresistible mime here. Olivia Pascals and Betty Verges "lovely curves" were "put in the right light this time too".
