WHITE SKIN ON THE BLACK MARKET

"White skin on a black market" probably marks the beginning of Erwin C. Dietrich's many, often unbearably steely erotic films. A year earlier, when his films were still black and white and "Hinterhöfe der Liebe" was able to convince as erotic noir like its predecessors, he was still a hopeful and erotic film pioneer, with this latest work, full of narrative nothing, lame erotic - just striptease - and a poorly thought-out crime story about girl traffickers, the viewer looks into an abyss of steel, into which Dietrich should rarely let light come in the future. - By the way, the camera is the only thing worth praising about this film, but Baumgartner is responsible for that, and he was a professional craftsman even in Dietrich's darkest hours.
