AFTER SUPER SEX, THE BAD GERMANS HAVE TO MAKE THE CASH REGISTERS RING
by Wolfgang Junker
Hollwood’s movie producers seem to have a rather peculiar philosophy. If Super Sex no longer draws enough customers, they bring the bad Germans back to the screen. :
Super Sex has been utterly exhausted by Hollywood during the last years. At first it was an excellent drawing card. But soon moviegoers became bored. They certainly still would have been attracted by more daring pictures. But then, though many movie producers would have gone along, the moral code made it impossible. That’s why they had to look for something else to revive the moviegoer’s interest.
Certainly the Americans are not short on subjects for movies that should get world acclaim. I don’t mean fishy bed stories or stupid rock-n’-roll plots. What, for instance, about their race problems? They could make dozens of first-class movies on that subject. Then they have Vietnam or Cuba or the Dominican Republic for excellent background stories. And why not a movie concerning the aid program in South America?
I don’t mean propaganda films. But the producers could inject so much drama and realism into such stories that the movies could not help but become world hits. If filled with genuine American goodwill, these movies would not only make the cash registers ring. They would also contribute to much better relations between the Americans and other countries.
But where do you find such movies? Probably the American movie producers consider those subjects to be too controversial. Maybe they fear the protesting cries of those patriotic organizations.

That such movies were produced in those times, is quite understandable. After all, one had to educate the soldiers—even if often not according to the truth—so that they could convince themselves in good conscience that it was right to kill the others. This had been done on both sides.
During the last years those movies with the bloodthirsty German men and women killers, with protuding eyes and fat necks, slowly
