Plot Synopsis:
-------------------

A contemporary sexual education guide has been published by the Christian Young Men's Association of Hamburg to help boys and girls understand and enjoy a healthy sex life. But the question is, can young people of today act responsibly when granted this kind of freedom?

Scene 1: 14 year-old Edith Grossmann (Sonja Spitzweg) is being gang-raped in the girls' restroom when the school janitor walks in. She soon discovers that it was all a set-up to blackmail her into prostitution. Only when she attempts suicide does the lurid business come to light, resulting in the janitor's arrest.

Scene 2: Teacher Johannes Holbach uses 'unorthodox' methods to engage his pupils' interest -- leading to the seduction of two dozen girls. When he's exposed, his victims, including 16 year-old Gisela Mohndorf and Micki Henkels (Birgit Tetzlaff), are reluctant to testify. Nevertheless, he gets nearly 6 years.

Scene 3: 14 year-old Ingrid (Manuela Widman) watches her older sister Hilde have sex, which awakens her own latent sexuality. First, she masturbates for the first time, and then explores the differences in the sexes with her 10 year-old cousin -- until her father catches them!

Scene 4: Renate's (Karin Götz) mother is hospitalized, and she comes home early to find her father getting it off with Aunt Lohnie. He explains to his distraught daughter that a mature man simply needs physical love. Naturally, Renate concludes the only way to save her parents' marriage is to give dad what he needs.

Scene 5: Helmi Kortmann (Carmen Jäckel) is a latter-day Lolita who preys on older men. Her target in this case is Dr. Schneider, father of one of her classmates. He falls under her spell, and a torrid affair ensues -- until his jilted son Rolf rats them out to Helmi's parents. Helmi, of course, claims she was raped, and the hapless Doctor takes the fall.

Scene 6: Margot is an emancipated feminist who thinks she's in control of the men she targets -- such as Werner, the mechanic. But he turns the tables on her, making her so dependent that she is unable to end their abusive relationship.

Scene 7: The janitor's daughter, Elfi Meier (Ingeborg Steinbach), is looking for a place to get it on with her hopeless date, and they end up in the principal's office at school -- unaware that it was already being used by the principal and his secretary for some late-night nooky. Nor does it help that the principal's suspicious wife is trying to hunt him down -- with the aid of Elfis father!

Scene 8: 14 year-old Karla and her boyfriend Heinz are having fun at the fair, unaware they're being stalked by a mad killer. He snuffs poor Heinz, then kidnaps and rapes Karla.

Scene 9: Beate Kemper's (Claudia Höll) wealthy father is opposed to her relationship with Peter Baumgartner, an employee's son, and forbids their seeing one another. Beate runs away to join Peter in Munich, leaving a note stating their intention to commit suicide together. The two fathers race to Munich, hoping to arrive in time...

Schoolgirl Report #3 (1972)

*** (out of 4)

The third of twelve films in the German Schulmadchen-Report series ran into a ton of controversy when it went to be released on American DVD early in 2008. The subject matter for this third film was too hot for the DVD distributor so the release ended up getting pulled and could only be sold at one online store. Months later an edited version was released but this review is for the uncut, international version running the complete 96-minutes (whereas the cut version is at 76-minutes). If you've seen the first two films then you know what to expect as this series tries to pass itself off as an educational movie warning parents about what their teenagers might be doing in regards to various sexual situations. We get the typical stories of girls sneaking out to have sex, younger girls going after older men and even a Romeo and Juliet type story but the controversial ones are going to be the most talked about. The first of the big three has a girl getting gang raped in her school bathroom but the adult won't believe her and instead he scares her into prostitution. The next story has a teenage girl catching her father in bed with another woman because her mother is ill and away in a hospital. Wanting to keep her father with her mother, the girl decides to start sleeping with her dad. The third of these "bad" stories centers on a 15-year-old girl who sees her older sister having sex and it gets her interested so she sneaks into the shower with her 10-year-old cousin. OK, the first two stories don't bother me too bad because you expect that sort of nastiness when it comes to exploitation, which this series is. If someone actually believes these are "learning" movies then I guess you will be shocked. The third story with the young kids is the one I have no problems with it being cut out. It's obvious both kids are underage and that the boy hasn't even hit puberty. Seeing them to "playing around", even though there's never any real touching, is just too creepy to watch. Perhaps I'm being a hypocrite because I loved Fat Girl, which features young nudity and I've seen Child Bride but those two films do talk about the subject in a serious way. This film here is meant to be fun and what I saw there wasn't fun. With that said, I still enjoyed the movie overall as we get sexy stories, stupid interviews with people off the street and countless other sexploitation scenes that come off fresh even in the third film. I've got nine more to go through but I must admit that I'm looking forward to each and everyone of them.

This film, third installment in a series totaling 13 entries, is not - as another reviewer mentioned - intended to be "educational". As with the other flicks of the series, the educational frame is only used to display absurdities in the sex life of German "school girls" of the 70s. In fact, it's classical soft porn stuff with a strong comical touch. No one speaks or acts as these "school girls" do; but some wish they would. The product of this fantasy are the "Schulmadchenreports". True, back in the days of their original releases, millions went to the cinema to see them. That, however, does not say anything about their quality, let alone the "educational" effort behind them. Looking at it today, and especially at vol. 3, it's hard not to laugh out loud. Every usual element is included: Incest, suicide, nymphomania and an over-the-top "liberalism" that makes sex look like everyone's single spare time activity. However, this particular film also has some darker moments (which are no less funny, but probably unintended to be so). If you want to see the father seduced by his own daughter to "save" the parents marriage, or want to witness a beautiful girl seducing her 10-year-old cousin(!), this one is the place to go. However funny and/or strange the episodes of the film are, one has to keep in mind that the actors were non-professionals, basically casted "on the street". This alone makes it an interesting reflection on the social reality of Germany in the years following '68.

This is the third of 13 "Schulmädchen Report" movies and it was released only roughly half a year after movie 2. It is the last one that won the Golden Screen (an award for films that were big hits at the box office) and also the last one that had Friedrich von Thun in the cast. He is still fairly known today. The movie runs for 93 minutes and is one of the longest of the whole franchise. The film's director is Ernst Hofbauer and he also directed some of the sequels still to come. The co-director is Walter Boos and he also directed some of the sequels. Also, he was an assistant director on the German Academy award nominee "The Devil Came at Night".

Early on, in this film, there is the question what can the filmmakers still give us that is new and interesting. Funnily enough, there were still 10 "Schulmädchen"-films made after this. And among the new things they offer us a group rape scene and a ruthless janitor who blackmails the victim for his own sexual pleasure. I also felt that this film was a bit more critical towards men than the 2 previous films. The horny teacher would be an example who keeps touching all his female students except the one obese girl. Apart from him, there is a sequence about a father who abuses his own daughter. There were not really many taboos here anymore in the early 70s. And there is a Lolita tale. Pay attention to how in one scene a bottle is right where a man's genital is. I mentioned taboos earlier and male nudity was pretty much the only one left. This goes also for all the other "Schulmädchen" films. It's also an indicator that there is not much scientific value to these and that it's all pretense as the filmmakers knew that men who watch these films to get horny will really be turned off by male genitalia. The last part is about a suicidal couple and intended as the dramatic highpoint I guess, but it was not that well-executed at all. In my opinion, this film is still better than most or all of the sequels, but it is still not a good movie at all.

I have one big problem: I really hate those stupid TV erotic movies from the 1990s. Every night in The Film Zone you find low quality frech made for TV motion pictures that I really don't like at all. But we're very lucky because now you can find on DVD classic eroticism from the 1970s. In Costa Rica, School girls growing up part 3, was in the 1980s the most watch film ever. I'm talking about good times. When men really appreciate the beauty of women and were not addicted to XXX videos without any story. When I was really young I use to watch the adds in the news paper. I was really obsessed with movies that were impossible to watch because of my age. Fanny Hill, Bilitis, Emmanuelle, Emmanuelle 2, Goodbye Emmanuelle, Salon Kitty. When I watched those posters I always thought: How many skin show those movies?. How diabolical are those actresses in the posters?. I'm I going to hell if I ever watch some of this movies?. I was really intrigued about them. So, when I was enough big, I start watching every legendary erotic movie from France, Germany and Italy. This one, in its hometown, it supposed to be an educational film about the sexual life of 60s and 70s teenagers. But in Costa Rica and some other countries of the world if was released as sofcore porn. The first two movies of the saga and the last eight, never came here. And we're still waiting.
