This is "Vanessa", a West German production from 1977 that includes mostly German language. It will have its 40th anniversary next year. The director is Hubert Frank, who was somewhat known back then, and the writer is Kurt Nachmann who I must admit I am not familiar with. The title character is played by Olivia Pascal and I must say I don't know her really or any other cast member in here. But I certainly liked what I saw in terms of her looks. She is a really attractive young brunette in here. She finds out about an inheritance and moves to Asia where she realizes that she has inherited brothels, so she turns into a bit of a Madam for the rest of the film. The context already makes clear that she is far from the only person we see without clothes in this 90-minute movie. I personally would not say this was a good watch really. There is some tension as we find out who Vanessa's friends are and who will be her foes, but it was never story-telling on level where I would say I am impressed or even well-entertained. Nonetheless, the story is a bit entertaining to watch from a guilty pleasure perspective and the lead actress is very gorgeous which is also why I cannot be too harsh on it. Overall, still a thumbs-down. Only recommended if you love sexploitation films or are just very horny.
