NAAKT OVER DE SCHUTTING

Date: 1973
Director: Frans Weisz
Production Company: City Film voor CFM

Stars:
Rijk de Gooyer, Jon Bluming, Jennifer Willems, Adele Bloemendaal, Sylvia Krystel, Ton Lensink, Jerome Reehuis, Jerry Brouwer, Hans Sijsjes, Lodewijk Sijsjes

Storyline:
Rick Lemming (Rijk de Gooyer) lives in the heart of Amsterdam, where he keeps pigeons and has rented a room to a teacher, Penny. His best friend is Ed Swaan, karate champion in the Netherlands and head over heels in love with the singer Lilly (Sylvia Kristel). Through Lilly, Ed comes into contact with a television director who persuades Rick and Penny to act in an 'art film'. Penny doesn't trust it completely and Rick investigates. He peeks inside and sees a shadowy erotic film affair that ends in a fierce fight. Ed and Lilly escape naked over the fence.

Additional information:
Jon Bluming was actually also a karate grandmaster. The LP of the film music is a pricey collector's item and I am the happy owner of a near mint copy that I found for only 1 euro.. .
