Ein Mädchen in der Suppe (1970)
26KEin Mädchen in der Suppe: Directed by Roy Boulting. With Peter Sellers, Goldie Hawn, Tony Britton, Ruth Trouncer. In their sexual game, an egotistical and womanizing television host meets his match, Marion, who seeks to remain one step ahead of him.
“THEREu0026#39;S A GIRL IN MY SOUP (3 outta 5 stars) This movie has always had a bad reputation and I could never figure out why. Sure, Peter Sellers has been in much better movies than this… but heu0026#39;s been in lots worse, too. He plays the smarmy, self-absorbed star of a TV gourmet show who enjoys the swinging bachelor life, even as he hits his mid-40s. He meets up with Goldie Hawn, a hip, sexually-liberated young gal of less-than-20 and the sparks, as they say, fly. There are some really funny lines but a lot of missed comedic opportunities as well. To this day I still wonder why there is no big payoff to the wine-tasting scene… after all the time spent trying to teach Goldie that one is supposed to u0026quot;spitu0026quot; and not u0026quot;swallowu0026quot; I wonder why she doesnu0026#39;t wind up spitting up during a fancy dinner scene. This may not be one of Sellersu0026#39; best but Goldie Hawn does a fine job… breaking free of the one-dimensional blonde ditz character that she was known for at the time. (She even gets a totally gratuitous nude scene… wow, this must be the u0026#39;70s!)”
