Blutiger Freitag (1972)

Blutiger Freitag: Directed by Rolf Olsen, Lee Payant. With Raimund Harmstorf, Amadeus August, Gianni Macchia, Christine Böhm. When terrorists rob a bank all hell is let loose.

“Indigestive red-head Raimund Harmstorf (as Heinz) persuades blue-eyed hunk Amadeus August (as Christian) to join himself and studly pal Gianni Macchia (as Luigi) in order to rob a Munich bank. Things donu0026#39;t go exactly as planned (wouldnu0026#39;t you know it); and, the heist turns into a hostage situation. u0026quot;Bloody Fridayu0026quot; offers plenty of gratuitous violence, which must have been considerably more shocking in its day. A couple of the hostages contrast interestingly with foul-mouthed Harmstorf: Ernst Hilbich (as Ernst) clearly wants to be one of the boys, and Daniela Giordano (as Dagmar) wants nothing to do with men (sheu0026#39;s a Lesbian). Some of the performances are all right; but, the actors are wasted in this bizarre, exploitive, and dated production. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e** Blutiger Freitag (4/28/72) Rolf Olsen ~ Raimund Harmstorf, Amadeus August, Gianni Macchia”
