Beim Jodeln juckt die Lederhose AKA There's No Sex LikeSnow Sex (1974) - Alois Brummer



Synopsis:
The RARE ENGLISH VERSION of this Bavarian sex romp comes to us courtesy of producer Alois Brummer, who broke into the business producing a series of films about Graf Porno (Count Porno) and ultimately directed 16 sex films himself before his premature death in 1984 at the age of 57. He was also involved in producing work for the avowed kings of this genre (Ernst Hofbauer, Hans Billian and Hubert Frank) and, knowing a cash-cow when he saw one, imported Michael Findlay's "Snuff" to Germany, also.

"Snow Bunnies" is an absolutely delightful example of its kind. The story involves a group of Berlin vacationers who arrive by bus at a remote snow village high in the mountains, where the hotel is operated by a cranky father Wirt (Franz Muxeneder), an elderly housekeeper (Rosa Mayr, a staple of the "Schoolgirl Report" films), a roguish handyman named Sepp (Konstantin Wecker, billed as "Peter Wecker" ha ha!) and the hotelier's plump-breasted daughter Vroni (Judith Fritsch). The guests include the wealthy but inexperienced Mr. Miller (genre fixture Josef Moosholzer) and a bevy of voluptuous young student girls, restless newlyweds and vacationing widows, all on the lookout for some action in the sack. Sepp is only too happy to oblige them, which leads to not-too-serious complications with Vroni and her father.

Auf ins blaukarierte Himmelbett (1974) - Alois Brummer



Synopsis:
This is probably Alois Brummer's best film - but before you all rush out and buy it, be warned that this is a judgement relative to his other output, and we are not exactly talking about the prime achievements of European cinema in the 20th century.
The story lines about a village gone mad about a suspected treasure and about antagonistic neighbours and their decidely less antagonistic offspring are very typical for plays popular at "Volksbühnen", i.e. non-subsidised theatres specialising at popular (often rural) comedies. Fittingly, some of the cast come from that background.
What is unusual for Brummer's work is that the story lines are actually seen through, resulting in a coherent whole. Some of the tension in the plot is of a sexual nature and thus suitable for the sex comedy treatment, but that dosage of sex clearly does not suffice for the demands of the genre. Therefore lots of entirely gratuitous nudity is added.
