Salon Kitty (1976)

Set in Nazi Germany in 1939, the film revolves around Madame Kitty Kellermann (Ingrid Thulin), who runs an upscale brothel named Salon Kitty. The SS, through the character of Helmut Wallenberg (Helmut Berger), transforms the brothel into a surveillance operation to spy on and gather compromising information from influential men, including military officers and foreign diplomats. The plot intertwines with the personal lives of the women working there, particularly focusing on the new recruit, Margherita (Teresa Ann Savoy), whose innocence contrasts with the corruption around her.
Ingrid Thulin gives a compelling performance as the complex Madame Kitty, balancing elegance with moral ambiguity. Helmut Berger's portrayal of Wallenberg is both charming and sinister, capturing the essence of Nazi duplicity. Teresa Ann Savoy's innocent character, Margherita, provides a moral anchor amidst the corruption, though her role sometimes feels more symbolic than fully developed.
