A Krimi With Nudity


Between 1959 and 1973, the German film industry made a series of films based on Edgar and (more often) Bryan Edgar Wallace's novels about unusual crimes and Scotland Yard. In Germany, these were known as "krimis".

While generally the features would have attractive women in them, and in, what were for the time, pretty sexy outfits. But by far most of these did not have any female nudity in them.

"Monster of London City" is a clear exception to that rule. Although very tame by today's standards, the nudity is startling and unexpected (at least partly because of the inclusion of some dubious comic relief).

In its retro way, very charming, actually.
