Not just for perverts
22 January 2008
The 1970's German "schulmadchen report" films seemed to have been consigned to the dust-bin of history only a few years ago, but more recently, perhaps due to the current "barely legal" fad in American porn, many have been resurrected on DVD. But while the modern American "barely legal" porn movies (from the admittedly very little I've seen) either feature disturbingly young looking girls barely over the age of consent or the typical 25-year-old porn starlets with over-sized breast implants and tattoos very unconvincingly portraying "teenagers", the schulmadchen films are a very happy medium. The girls are fresh and nubile girl-next-door types, but don't really look underage. The most famous actress in these films, Cristina Lindberg, was in her early 20's then, and by now, of course, is old enough to be the mother of someone like me. (If Lindberg WERE your mother though, would you EVER stop breast-feeding?).

Like the rest of these films this consists of a number of sexy vignettes supposedly based on what real-life German teenagers of the day were up to. In the first one, an attractive senior is flunking math. So what can she do to get her strict male teacher to give her a passing grade? Hmmm? In another vignette a creep guy disguises himself as a doctor so he can give "check-ups" to naive teenage girls home alone (which would never work in America where doctors don't make house-calls even if you call them). This gives one horny young couple an idea of how they can get together right under their parents' noses. Then there is a sensitive story of interracial relationships and gratuitous shower scenes. Finally the most controversial story has the aforementioned Crisina Lindberg playing a girl who's in love with her brother. Despite the appalling lack of taste here, Lindberg as always is the quintessential actress for these kind of films since she had the fresh, innocent face of an 18-year-old virgin and the voluptuous body of a burlesque era stripper.

I would recommend this for all the perverts out there, of course, especially as an alternative to wasting your money on more modern-day (and more morally dubious) "barely legal" porn. But movies like this will also certainly appeal to ANYONE who enjoys undraped females, as well as people like me who might watch sex films more ironically. Movies like this may have "driven parents to despair" in 1970's Germany, but they're sure a whole lot of fun today.
