Sylvia de Leur, an actress known for her role in Business Is Business (1971), brings a distinctive edge to the film's exploration of the complexities of commerce and personal relationships. Set against the backdrop of the early 1970s, her performance captures the essence of a rapidly changing society. De Leur's involvement in this cult classic highlights her contribution to the genre of exploitation cinema, where the interplay of business and personal dynamics creates a unique narrative experience.
Business Is Business
Blonde Greet is an experienced, but kind hearted, prostitute in the Red Light District of Amsterdam. Her friend and also whore Nel lives on the second floor of her house, and is explored and abused by her pimp. When Greet meets the married Piet, they feel a great attraction for each other, and Nel decides to find a boyfriend and become a straight woman. But life is not like a Hollywood movie in the streets of Amsterdam. Controversial director Paul Verhoeven made his feature-film debut with this Dutch comedy-drama about two prostitutes working in the Amsterdam Red Light district, and the many strange and unusual men they meet through their work. Also known as Diary Of A Hooker, Business is Business, and Any Special Way, Wat Zien Ik? was based on the short stories of Albert Mol; the film was photographed by Jan de Bont, who later went on to become a successful director himself.
