When Harry met Claudette... and Katharina.... and Nicole.... etc
Wolfgang_Rodenbach29 December 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Harry Korda (Rainer Peets) arrives back in Germany and his loyal chauffeur Wladimir (Günther Notthoff, looking like a cross between Oddjob and Goldfinger) is waiting to pick him up at the airport. Korda struts around in a large fur coat and immediately visits a restaurant where Ellie works. He claims to have been saving up all his sexual energy for her for the last seven months. However, she's engaged to Eddie now, who attacks Harry in the middle of the intercourse. It turns out Harry isn't as well off as his coat would make you think. He visits his gay pall Alexander to ask for a place to sleep. All the while he is being followed by lovesick Karola (Gilda Gregory), but Harry is not interested in rekindling that particular flame. Instead, he spots another former lover, Christine, walking by and picks her up using his gigolo ways. But when he's making passionate love with her, it turns out her dorky husband Walter is waiting in the bathroom for Harry to butter her up.

Harry decides he has to strike it big soon, and figures the best way is to find a millionaire's daughter and marry her. Back at Alexander's mansion he meets Claudette Frank (Christine Szenetra), who takes him to her flat for a cup of coffee. Again their lovemaking is interrupted when another man, this time her lover Georg Waldenberg (Max Giese). He arrives because he's got an hour to spend with her. Korda escapes by climbing across a couple of balconies, follows Georg and attempts to blackmail him concerning his 'sister' Claudette. When that doesn't work he joins a high stake poker game in the back room of the restaurant where Ellie an Eddie work. Wladimir is knocked out by another tough guy. But this time our Harry is saved out of a nasty predicament by yet another former flame, Katharina. This one is played the enormously bosomed Heidi Kappler, who's motherly attributes compensate for the fact that she doesn't do hard core scenes. Katharina also happens to be married to Georg, so that'll come in handy.

Next, Harry visits Ellie while Eddie is sick with the flu and gets an invitation to a party thrown by George. Before that he puts the moves on Georg's daughter Nicole by pretending to be a masseur. Later on, at the party, Wladimir has fun with a maid (Margarethe Kuske) who is almost as large as he is. So, Harry entertains Nicole Waldenberg while her daddy visits Claudette. Eddie has figured out Ellie is still seeing Harry and forces a confession out of her. He decides to set a trap for the fur coated gigolo. Meanwhile Christine has hooked up with Katharina and together they start bossing Harry around. Obviously he won't take this lying down, so he decides to bribe some cash out of big daddy Georg and split to the Bahamas. Unfortunately for him he hasn't counted on Claudete overhearing his scheme and getting jealous of Nicole...

For a Seventies Sex romp, this film really isn't all that sexy. The story is too convoluted to be funny and yet it certainly cannot be called serious, either. It's just not very good at all. The sex scenes are all quite short and surprisingly, the majority are soft. So it would seem likely that there is a non explicit cut available as well. It all ends with a lot of chases and double and triple crossing nobody cares about. Also, the lead character Harry Korda keeps saying "See You later Alligator" to everyone like he invented the phrase.
