Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis wasn't director Paul Verhoeven's and screenwriter Gerard Soeteman's preferred project to work on. Verhoeven had hoped to do an adaptation of a major Dutch literary work, rather than an anecdotal novel about prostitution. However, Soeteman convinced him that they could make something acceptable out of it, and that they simply needed the work. Soeteman's instincts turned out correct, as the movie became a success, and it opened the way for their next project, the critically acclaimed and commercially successful literary adaptation Turkish Delight (1973).

Featured review
The titles already gives something away:(in the dialect from Amsterdam). This is the REAL story about the life of prostitutes in the famous red light district of Amsterdam in the sixties. Based on the book with the same title, it tells about the drama's happening in the life of prostitutes (like the trouble with pimps) and the fun with strange customers... The actors are mainly chosen from commediants and those who have experience in Amsterdam Music Theater, which enables them to give a humorous view on the not to happy lives of prostitutes and using the real accent that people of Amsterdam speak it makes you feel like living next door, able to watch the customers come in and go out every day.
