The Bed Student, or What Do I Do With the Girls? (1970)

cringe comedycampy chaosstudent life satire

Overview

Comedy

Christof Müller continues as a prospective student with the train from Augsburg to Munich. Already when Enrolling he is intercepted by the artist life “sports fan”, who introduced him to so many university internals. Along with “Justus von Liebig,” he runs a practice for student hardship cases, but is mostly just drunk and fooling around. Christof lives with his cousin Brigitte, who is behind him, and with him is intimate. In between, he will perform the little fairy and goes with her to the zoo. Because the girl wants not just to the ladies room, he must call and reap evil suspicions of passers-by.

Standout Aspects

Acting

Karl Dall's unhinged 'Sportsfreund' energy steals every frame.

Costume

Peak 1970s student fashion crimes on full display.

Best for:Solo: When you want to witness 1970s German comedy alone with judgment.·Friends: Irony-appreciating group ready to roast every scene together.·Background: Barely followable plot perfect for distracted viewing.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Constant incest-adjacent cousin intimacy played for laughs.·Disturbing: Zoo bathroom scene with small child aged extremely poorly.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Part of Germany's 1970s 'sex wave' comedies that tried to outdo Schulmädchen-Report's commercial success. Verhoeven later became a respected serious director—this was him paying rent.

Trivia

Gila von Weitershausen was already a major star; her presence here was pure box office insurance. The title's 'Bed Student' pun on 'poor student' (Bettelstudent/Bettstudent) doesn't translate.
