3 prostitutes - Margit, Pia & Meite - are sharing not only one
appartment but also one bed (which naturally leads to the occasional
lesbian sex -, & each morning they talk to each other about the
adventures of last night, be it having sex with the studlike
Mustapha (Eric Falk), having to masturbate in front of a masturbator, or
sleeping with a man in a coffin ...
Initially, the three came together by chance: Pia unable to make a
living as a saxophone player, took a job as a nude model for a
painterwhere she met Meite who was his muse. But when the two tried to bed
him, he was exhausted pretty soon, so they got rid of him. & before
long, Margit, an unsuccessful burglar, joined the duo & they started
to put on erotic shows in a nightclub in order to turn on their customers
...
Then though, Meite falls for a photographer, who promises her the world
but instead ships her off to a brothel in Istambul run by Mustapha.
Especially Margit is infuriated about Meite leaving them, but in the
next night makes exactly the same mistake, & ends up with Mustapha too
... as does Pia, one night later. & what's worse, instead of fucking
their way through some exotic lovers, they only get second-rate German
businessmen.
So they decide to fuck the stud Mustapha himself into exhaustion &
submission ...
Two versions of this movie exist, one hardcore (Wilde Lust) one
softcore (Mädchen im Nachtverkehr), fiollowing review is based on
the hardcore version, since the softcore version seems to have only the
more explicit elements cut out (as opposed to hardcore-inserts spliced in,
which would be another common practice in the 1970's).
Despite director Jess Franco's predilection for anything sleazy, &
his often inventive treatment thereof, this film, one of his most explicit
ones, is rather a disappointment. The episodic nature of its script is
more reminiscent of other Erwin C.Dietrich films of its time (Mädchen
die nach Liebe schreien, Mädchen
die sich selbst bedienen, Ich,
ein Groupie) than a visit to the weird erotic & ironic world
of Jess Franco. It is not until late in the movie, when the girls put on
their nightclub act & later end up in the Istambul brothel, that Jess
Franco's personal style & his predilection for both the kinky &
for pulp crime stories begins to shine through. But by then, it is already
too late & doesn't save the movie anymore.
