During the 1960’s, sexy actress Britt Lindberg had a brief career in German sex films, farces and thrillers.

Meyer was dissatisfied with the film, and for years afterwards he complained of Hempel's unsuitability for her part. In the late 1990s Hempel, now Lady Weinberg, bought the British rights; since then it has not been seen on UK television, though it has been released on DVD there.Sex, Drugs, Music & Murder: Signs of the Time, Baby!, a look at the late 1960s culture that spawned Beyond the Valley of the Dolls After 1968, Britt Lindberg’s film career went downhill. She had a bit part in the TV series Finke & Co. (1969, Otto Meyer) with Michael Ande. A year later she played her final film part in Liebesmarkt in Dänemark/Golden Bananas (1970, Benno Bellenbaum, Günter Vaessen). She was last seen on TV in the miniseries Coralba (1970, Daniele D’Anza) starring Rossano Brazzi and Valérie Lagrange. Once again she played bit part as a prostitute, just like in her first film. Britt Lindberg is not to be confused with Swedish actress and model Christina Lindberg, who was born as Britt Christina Marinette Lindberg in 1950. Sexy blond actress Renate Hütte appeared under the names of Rena Horten and Renate Hutter in several German and American films and TV series of the 1960´s. She dated and worked with sexploitation director Russ Meyer. Britt Lindberg was born in Berlin, Germany. Although IMDb does not mention the film on her resume, the Krüger postcard proves that proves that she appeared with Renate Hütte in the erotic farce Fanny Hill (1964, Russ Meyer), featuring Letícia Román. They probably had bit roles as two prostitutes. Her IMDB resume does include the comedy Die Lümmel von der ersten Bank/The clown of the first bank (1968, Werner Jacobs) with Theo Lingen. Jan Onderwater notes in his review on IMDb: “Social attitudes were changing in the late 60's and the film history attributed to these changes. A notorious attribution from the German cinema are the so-called ‘Lümmel films’ (6 in total) in which the young students and other youths dissociate themselves from the older generation. But as this series was made as comedy within the mainstream German cinema, its rebellion is toned down to say the least and no more than a standard farce is the outcome.“ Next she appeared in another farce with a lot of female nudity, Die Nichten der Frau Oberst/Guess Who's Coming for Breakfast (1968, Erwin C. Dietrich) featuring Kai Fischer. She was a bit of eye candy in the thriller Der Tod im roten Jaguar/Death in the Red Jaguar (1968, Harald Reinl) starring George Nader as G-man Jerry Cotton. 1968 was a good year for her, because she also had a small part in the crime drama Der Arzt von St. Pauli/Bedroom Stewardesses (1968, Rolf Olsen) featuring Curd Jürgens. Look On Up at the Bottom, with composer Stu Phillips and three members of the Carrie Nations discussing the film’s music

One time I was a bad girl,’ she reminisced. ‘I was doing cocaine and I met a young a waiter. I told Russ, “I can’t see you tonight. I’m gonna be out with the girls and home late. I’ll see you tomorrow.” So I was with the guy, screwing him. After we finished we were lying in bed under the covers and all of a sudden someone just dragged the covers off and I looked and it was Russ. He took the guys clothes and threw them out the window. But Russ forgave me. Another time when we were living in Beverly Hills, we had a huge fight. I was desperate for him not to leave me but he started to drive off in his car. I was totally naked in the street and I dived onto the hood and was literally clinging onto the wipers screaming for him not to go. The car was going all over the place and all the neighbours were out watching us!’ German postcard by Krüger, no. 902/302. Photo: Bernard of Hollywood / CCC-Zugsmith Co-produktion.
