Val Guest, veteran director of many interesting British films covering a multitude of subjects, joined the nudie-cutie bandwagon of the 1970s with The Au Pair Girls. Anyone who's taken first-year French will probably know that the title refers to young foreign girls living in England who perform domestic chores in exchange for room and board and the opportunity to learn the English language. In this film, the girls' "services" range far beyond mere light dusting. It's the 1972 equivalent to those old stag reels of the 1950s with titles like Lucky Pierre Goes Fishing. Among the au pair girls in this R-rated effort are Gabrielle Drake, Astrid Frank, and Me Me Lai. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Based on the novel Das Freudenhaus, by Henry Jaeger, this German language film concerns a madam in a whorehouse, herself once a prostitute. Despite, or perhaps because of her former profession, Rosi (Karin Jacobsen) feels that she needs a man in her life. Where should she turn but to the circus, where a clown, formerly a bookkeeper, responds to her attentions. He even doesn't mind her former profession too much, especially since the bordello keeps the money rolling in. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
