Mädchen für die Mambo-Bar

The cheeky little Eva just wants to sing on stage. She has no idea what lies behind the façade: Drugs. Sex. Hereditary skulduggery and violence ... Hardly anyone knows about the pioneering weight of this great feat. It wasn't until two years later that the softer erotic sex thriller and animated tearjerker, the revue and striptease film would explode across Europe. Conceived here as the hit counterpart to the US "Roughies", Glück gives the riot an unexpected depth of character, musicality and elegance. By the time "Am Tag, als der Regen kam" (On the Day the Rain Came) blares through the cologne fog of the nightclub, you want to weep with joy. (Paul Poet)
