Summary
The New Adventures of Snow White (German: Grimms Märchen von lüsternen Pärchen) is a 1969 West German sex comedy film directed by Rolf Thiele and starring Marie Liljedahl, Eva Reuber-Staier, and Ingrid van Bergen. The film puts an erotic spin on three classic fairy tales Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. It was part of a slide in the career of Thiele who earlier in the decade had still been a mainstream director, but increasingly found himself making lower-budget sex comedies.[1]
