Salon Kitty (1976)


 

 
Kitty runs a brothel in Nazi Germany where the soldiers come to "relax". Recording devices have been installed in each room by a power hungry army official, who plans to use the information to blackmail Hitler and gain power himself.

Under the pretense of saying something about the Nazi regime this film is mainly a high-profile exploitation flick dwelling more on its sex scenes than on any discernible message.
 
Halliwell (no star): "A voyeuristic movie with a gloating nastiness about it that is thoroughly dislikable."

A corrupt young man somehow keeps his youthful beauty eternally, but a special painting gradually reveals his inner ugliness to all.

The Devil's Violinist (2013)



The life story of Italian violinist and composer, Niccolò Paganini, who rose to fame as a virtuoso in the early 19th Century.

Trashy bio-pic has some good period details, but a lot of miserable performances;  true, David Garrett knows how to play the violin, but obviously never learnt how to act.
