Detectives investigate a series of murders at a notorious London nightclub in this German-language mystery crime thriller from 1964.

sex
The story centres around a strip club that also serves as a brothel, and non-graphic references to sex work feature throughout.
nudity
Scenes set at a strip club infrequently feature sexualised breast and buttock nudity in addition to sight of dancers and servers wearing lingerie. Stylised depictions of naked women appear in paintings, sculptures and posters in and around the club.
additional issues
Scenes of moderate violence and threat show a mysterious killer committing a series of bloodless stabbings. There are non-graphic verbal references to sexual violence and sex trafficking, as well as an implied off-screen struggle. There are occasional scenes of, and references to, discrimination, including sequences in which a white character wears a ‘Bedouin’ costume to perform a knife-throwing stage act. A person takes their own life, without strong visual detail, and an undetailed corpse is found in the aftermath of an off-screen suicide.
