A very blond Austrian au pair working in England goes out with a number of men and picks up a venereal disease.
"What do the Austrians think of Hitler?" a young fellow cheerfully asks her.
It was only 18 years after Hitler offed himself. It wasn't an unreasonable question.
According to the certificate they show at the beginning of British movies, it was rated X. No one under sixteen admitted. No real sex or nakedness although we do see relatively young people swim in their 1963 English underwear.
The movie looked beautiful, black and white, recently restored. We see swinging London with crowded streets and nightclubs. The girl joins an anti-nuclear march but wears inappropriate shoes and leaves early. She misses the bus back to London and a guy in an MG gives her a lift. She goes out with that guy later and is attacked by her jealous middle-aged boyfriend when he sees him drop her off. An English bobby chases the assailant. He gets away, but it was a good thing he attacked her because she goes to the police station where a policewoman insists she go to a health clinic where they find out she has syphilis. She's already spread it to another guy who's given it to his pregnant fiancee and thus to their unborn child.
77 minutes. Free on Tubi.
