A homosexual fair ground performer Franz Fox wins the lottery and is soon seduced by an upper class man Eugen who appears to be after only one thing, Franz's money.
Not a bad film, just a bit long and at times rather dreary. There is not much of a story to it but there are numerous interesting characters along the way that Fox encounters.
The hideous character of Eugen is played rather well by Peter Chatel, a snob who looks down his nose at the working class Fox. In addition, Max (played by Karlheinz Bohm of 'Peeping Tom' fame),plays the older man who seems to care for Fox to some extent.
Rainer Fassbinder plays Fox very well and one cannot help feeling sorry for Fox who has fallen for a sneaky and deceitful man.
An OK film, a little trippy at times but not recommended particularly highly by this viewer.
