Salon Kitty: Collector's O-card, front
Every room in Berlin's most exclusive brothel is wired. Every girl is a spy.
Berlin, the last years of the Third Reich. Salon Kitty is where officers, diplomats and party men come to forget about the war. None of them know that every room is listening. SS officer Wallenberg (Helmut Berger, The Damned) has replaced Madame Kitty's girls with hand-picked party loyalists, trained to seduce, listen and report, and he means to blackmail his way to the very top.
Then one of his recruits, Margherita (Teresa Ann Savoy, Caligula), finds out what the salon really is. Together with Kitty herself (Ingrid Thulin, Wild Strawberries) she starts a very dangerous double game.
Made just before Caligula, with astonishing sets by Ken Adam, the designer behind Dr. Strangelove and the Bond films, this is Brass at his most ambitious. Long out of print in North America, it is back in its uncut 133-minute form.
Making Salon Kitty
A unique English-language interview running almost 24 minutes. Brass talks about what drew him to Peter Norden's book, how the film's world was built, and the censors he had to fight in country after country.
