Uli Steigberg emerged in the early 1970s, making a notable impact in the realm of cult cinema with his roles in films like Deep End (1971) and Schoolgirls Growing Up (1972). His performances often reflect the provocative and boundary-pushing narratives characteristic of the era, as seen in Campus Pussycats (1973) and Varsity Playthings (1975). Steigberg's contributions to these films highlight a unique intersection of eroticism and social commentary, making him a distinctive figure in the landscape of exploitation cinema.
Campus Pussycats
The episodic film is justified by the fact that new material has been received. In the framework, students Sibylle and Achim are caught having sex in the music room. The teaching staff and the parent council discuss whether the two should be expelled from school. A number of significantly more serious cases come to light: Ingrid is in love with her teacher, Miss Lensing, who in turn is having an affair with the married teacher Dornseif. She tries blackmail, but only succeeds in getting her lover transferred. Lolli, who was raped, teams up with her friend, who was also cheated on by Hans. The girls mobilize their angry classmates against Hans, who dies in the process. A window cleaner is allowed into the classroom by students without the short-sighted teacher recognizing him or noticing the subsequent activity behind a wall of cupboards. Marlies is caught by her father making love to her boyfriend Herbert. The boy offers his father hush money, but the father learns from this and rents his daughter out to men. Lilo is in love with her married fencing teacher Wedekind and seduces him in the shower, later she finds happiness with Carsten.
