“Mix Business With Pleasure? (Every Chance I Get!)”
Laura is a blonde with a sexy overbite. Sitting on a beach, she daydreams of a visit to Hamburg where she showed her sex obsession in nearly every situation she found herself - at a photo shoot, at her friends, at the squash court, in a lift and an air port car park (greatly disconcerting a car thief), culminating in an orgy at a dinner party.

Germany in the autumn of 1957: Lola, a seductive cabaret singer-prostitute exults in her power as a temptress of men, but she wants out—she wants money, property, and love. Pitting a corrupt building contractor against the new straight-arrow building commissioner, Lola launches an outrageous plan to elevate herself in a world where everything, and everyone, is for sale. Shot in childlike candy colors, Fassbinder’s homage to Josef von Sternberg’s classic The Blue Angel stands as a satiric tribute to capitalism.
