Madam Kitty (1976)
7/10
What frightens you, what you see or what you don't?

Tinto Brass (Caligula, Cheeky) may not have made a video nasty with this nazisploitation flick, but that is probably because it wasn't released in Britain.

This review is the 133 minute director's cut, not the heavily censored 110 minute US version. According to some, both are too long, but at least one person thinks this is the "Citizen Kane of nazisploitation." We shall explore both opinions.

Those looking for boobs and bushes will not be disappointed, but you will find as many, if not more, dangling members in this film as well.

Some may be put off by the frequent singing. It's a nazisploitation Cabaret.

Helmut Wallenberg (Helmut Berger) is an SS Officer put in charge of recruiting girls, loyal party stalwarts, who will staff a recreation center for the Nazis.

They close down Kitty's (Ingrid Thulin) brothel and open a new one staffed with their girls -- and recording equipment to blackmail high ranking officers. They gathered plenty of information on this perverted lot.

But things start to fall apart when Margherita (Teresa Ann Savoy) finds out her love Hans (Bekim Fehmiu) was executed and she joins Kitty in finding out what is really going on.

There is hell to pay.
