...Lola Lola, the hardhearted Lorelei whose siren song lures a respectable, middle-aging botany teacher (Curt Jurgens) into degradation, Swedish Actress Britt makes a stunning physical impression.

But she is never called upon to display even a modest range of emotion, never conveys anything of the sense of mystery and veiled secret that underlay Marlene's tough tart...
