SALON
KITTY (Blue
Underground) 1975.Drama. 133 minutes. Not Rated. Nudity, sex. Directed
by Tinto Brass. It’s 1939 and the Nazis are horny. Therefore, Hitler
commands SS Officer Wallenberg to round up Germany’s most beautiful
women and train them on the finer points of sexual pleasure. After the
training is complete, the women are sent to Madame Kitty’s brothel,
where they service high-ranking Nazi scum. However, Wallenberg has other
plans of betrayal and blackmail in mind.
Clocking in at well over two hours, Salon Kitty has to be one of
the longest exploitation films ever and it’s about as long as it
is boring.
Based on true events, people into Nazi history may find the story to be
interesting, but those looking for anything else will be disappointed.
There is some nudity and sexual escapades that will help keep the
attention deficit disorder sufferer on his/her toes, barely. Directed by
Tinto Brass, this version of Salon Kitty is uncut and uncensored. Yippee.
Also included is a bonus disc loaded with extras; interviews, design
information, etc. Although this flic bored the snot out of me, I was
rather impressed with the set design, costumes, and overall production
work. Having reviewed about 5 Tinto Brass movies, I really think he’s
been riding his Caligula fame way too long. – Denis Sheehan
