Born in Prague in 1943, Dagmar Lassander began her career in the arts as a costume designer before transitioning to acting in Italy. She gained prominence in the 1970s with her standout performance in Hatchet for the Honeymoon (1970), directed by Mario Bava, which solidified her place in the giallo genre. Her work in The Laughing Woman (1969) and The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion (1970) further showcased her ability to navigate the complex narratives of Italian exploitation cinema. Lassander's contributions to films like So Young, So Lovely, So Vicious... (1975) and Werewolf Woman (1976) highlight her enduring impact on cult film culture.
Sweet Teen
This movie is about a middle-age businessman who marries a much younger woman (former Miss Italy Daniela Giordano), but is carrying on with his sexy secretary (Dagmar Lassander). He somehow still has the energy, however, to lust after his wife’s visiting niece (Viviano), although that’s perhaps not surprising as she constantly lolls around in a short mini-skirt with her panties in full display or lies naked in bed playing with her puss (I’m talking about her cat–get your mind out of the gutter!). In the funniest scene she gets alarmed by a noise and insists on sleeping in the same bed with her “uncle”. The man eventually hatches a hare-brained scheme to pay another man, a handsome butcher, to seduce his wife so he can file for divorce and be with the niece. But, of course, it all goes horribly, horribly wrong.
