This movie was once broadcast on German TV - at a very late hour - and since one of my favourite actresses, Lilli Palmer, appears in it I decided to tape it. I'm so glad I did! Overall it's a pretty silly film, the story is certainly no masterpiece but I really enjoyed all the typical 1960's views. The buildings, the cars, the card system that picks Olga and Anja as the perfect couple to deal with the problem. The slapstick comedy group looks as if they're somewhere dragged in, but this is a minor case of Europudding so who cares. A funny film in my view, perhaps not in the way the makers meant it to be, but I had fun watching it albeit over thirty years after production. That probably helped too. Seven points out of ten, but... that's my personal opinion!
