A trashy '70s German exploitation flick where the vice squad meets high society in a very sticky way.
Rough-and-ready vice detective Perrak has to follow a 1000 leads during the investigation of a trans murder case. In a profoundly mysterious massage parlor he meets industrialist wife Claire Imhoff, who knows more about the crime than she wants to admit.
Direction
Vohrer's somehow both sleazy and competent.
Production
That massage parlor set design is aggressively '70s.

Director
Alfred Vohrer
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This belongs to the 'Krimi' wave of German crime films—basically Edgar Wallace knockoffs that got increasingly lurid as censorship relaxed.
Horst Tappert would soon become famous as Derrick, Germany's most beloved TV detective—making this grubby vice cop role deeply amusing in retrospect.
