Salon Kitty

Once you get past the nudity and Nazi exploitation stuff, this is an interesting commentary on the Democratic Socialist (read Democrat) movement in Germany heading into WWII. Substitute the brothel for say an island somewhere warm, throw in the corruption and quest for power and the political concept of the film runs nearly parallel with current events. The interview with the director could have expanded on some of this a little more but you'll get the point. Plus plenty of nudity, because let's face it, that is what you were expecting anyway.

JUst perfect

I will have to watch this again to get the story straight in my head. There is tons of nudity but some confusing as to why the natzis were accomplishing. A young German girl was one of the ladies of the house fell in love with a soldier and was a repeat customer. But sent back to fight on the front line tried to defect and was killed for desertion and seemingly the house of Kitty falls after the German army was advised they had lost the war, interesting movie

Stay away from this movie !. If this is a directors cut, I should be in Hollywood!.Don’t waste your time and money.You’re welcome !

Storyline travels way to much and horrible at sex scenes,,,,poorly done,,,had great potential at the beginning

I like, I purchased it

With Gore Vidal as author of the screenplay and Bob Guccione of "Penthouse Magazine" to provide backing, director Tinto Brass had achieved some notoriety and success with his 1979 film, "Caligula" which remained in a lot of people's minds as the epitome of the best of the "pushing the envelope" variety, as the film was porn with major stars like Malcolm McDowell, Peter O'Toole, even John Gielgud and Helen Mirren in the cast. Well, now on blu-ray for around $40.00 each comes what was done before it, practically the same year, a story Brass borrowed from the famous 1964 controversial film, "The Balcony" and made "Salon Kitty" released in this country at first as simply "Madam Kitty." Besides Brass as director, and in one of the few extras with the blu-ray, extended director's cut, the clearly not starving Brass claims he edits all his own work, so why others are listed in directories as editors remains unclear; both films feature who is now getting rave reviews, a one Teresa Ann Savoy, who for what is claimed as should be A-list beautiful actress, fares no better in the looks department than the least of most of the lesser beauties there have been, and that goes for acting ability, too. Ingrid Thulin and Helmut Berger get top honors for their performances, which I think elevate "Salon Kitty" above "Caligula" as far as story and ideas go. Screenplay was by E. De Concini, M.P. Fusco and Tinto Brass. Director of Photography is Silvano Ippoliti, production design by Ken Adam, and Costumes by Ugo Pericoli and Jost Jakob. The film is like a wild fantasy, but very disturbing. Sometimes one surmises Brass would be served better if someone else did the editing as some images look like they need more work or another hand in giving them polish. It only seems natural that a movie such as "Salon Kitty" riding on the coattails of "Caligula" would be considered our best today. Argent Films. With a gallery of other Argent Film trailers besides the theatrical trailer for "Salon Kitty." This was based on a true story? Take note of all the sardonic implications for a repeat of history.

Watching and directed by tinto brass.

Eine Besonderheit für den Geschichtsliebhaber neuerer dt. Geschichte, wenn auch ein "wenig anrüchiges Thema!". Vermutl. schwierig, die DVD in Deutsch zu bekommen?

An interesting movie. I was a little disappointed, the film quality was no better than dvd, and the plot was a little monotonous. Still worth watching, but get the dvd, the blue ray is no better
