If you look for a capsule of the exact period in time when fun-loving and clean-cut girls had the "choice" of wearing either ultra-short miniskirts or tight hot pants, this is it. The negligible plot of this movie exposes a clique of simple-minded beauties who decide to run a lakeside hotel in a postcard-like part of Austria. With looks and charm and cleverness they succeed in achieving just this. As most of the German B movies of the 70es the imagery contrasts an assortment of trashy looking older people with fashionable younger ones who could easily be enlarged from molded plastic Barbie&Ken-figurines. There is some Schlager style singing of the period to punctuate the plot. And well, some of the actors like Jutta Speidel later turned to more serious work.
