Salon Kitty (1976)



Two dancers in one
 If Cabaret was a romantically entertaining view of German nightlife in the 1930's, this is the soft porn equivalent, exploiting the idea of Nazis breeding the perfect offspring. There's plenty of swastikas, plenty of nudity, plenty of stocking tops and a fair bit of bonking, not all of it vanilla. To set the scene for decadent entertainment there is this half-and-half cabaret performer at the beginning of the film, under the titles.




A crossdresser in the audience
 To reinforce the message, we see this member of the audience.




Frilly underwear
 This officer is having a session with a prostitute; he is wearing frilly underwear under his uniform.




A travesty dance routine
 There is also a travesty performance near the end of the film, with these waiters performing a cancan.

Helmut Berger is rather one-dimensional as the ruthless Nazi power seeker; Ingrid Thulin is much more convincing as Madam Kitty, if just a little too refined for a Madam. But with all the producer's efforts put into the visual imagery, don't expect the plot to be too well thought through.

The film is also known as Madam Kitty.
