How it feels

This West German film retells three classic fairy tales with a comedic and erotic twist. It follows Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty through racy, cartoonish adventures. The tone is campy and lighthearted rather than serious.

What happens

The New Adventures of Snow White (German: Grimms Märchen von lüsternen Pärchen, lit. 'Grimm's Fairy Tales of Lustful Couples') is a 1969 West German sex comedy film directed by Rolf Thiele and starring Marie Liljedahl, Eva Rueber-Staier, and Ingrid van Bergen. The film puts an erotic spin on three classic fairy tales Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. It exemplified the downturn in the career of Thiele who earlier in the decade had still been a mainstream director, but increasingly found himself making lower-budget sex comedies. It was made at the Emelka Studios in Munich. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
