Less accomplished than the later "tegn" films., 31 October 1999
6/10
Author: Stefan Kahrs from Canterbury, England

In the 1970s, Denmark produces a number of sex comedies that somehow managed to combine slapstick humour with hardcore sex. In particular, this applied to the "tegn" series which started with this film.

In many ways "I jomfruens tegn" was less accomplished than the later films. The comedy was given too little room to gather any momentum, and as a result this film is not quite as playful and carefree as the others in the series. Its biggest weakness is that its young female characters appear without any signs of individuality, they are just fresh meat. This leaves the film without a focal point for the viewer. I would not be surprised if the filmmakers simply hired a bunch of whores from nearby Hamburg who did not speak a word of Danish - consequently they weren't given any lines which makes character development somewhat difficult.

Still, despite all these flaws the film still compares favourably with 1990s pornography (which is admittedly not a tough benchmark), due to higher production values and a less cynical atmosphere, and the unusual genre combination gives it genuine curiosity value.
