(aka "Dagmars heta trosor" or "Busy Bodies" or "Dagmar's Hot Pants" aka "Dagmar's Hot Pants Inc.")
 

Directed by Vernon P. Becker
Denmark / Sweden / United States 1971

 

Scandinavian bombshell Diana Kjær (Fanny Hill) is Dagmar, a classy call girl in Copenhagen. To Dagmar, pleasure is a business. And business is a pleasure. But after two years in the trade, she’s ready to quit. Join Dagmar on the final day of her career as she visits various clients and female friends for one last hurrah. Also known as Dagmar & Co. and co-starring Robert Strauss (Stalag 17), Anne Grete (Without a Stitch), Inger Sundh (The Daughter: I, a Woman Part III) and Tommy Blom (The Seduction of Inga), Dagmar’s Hot Pants, Inc. is a charming ’70s sex comedy that’s sure to satisfy!

***

Known to her clients as Dagmar, she's a classy Swedish call girl in Copenhagen. After two years, she's ready quit, and we follow her on what she hopes is her last day in the trade. She wakes at 9 AM, gets her first call and a marriage proposal, checks in with her doctor, pays final visits to various clients, arranges to lease her flat, passes on her black book to a colleague, tries to beg off on an impromptu session with Japanese businessmen, has a quick conversation with her brother, and makes a couple of charitable contributions. All the while, her eyes on the clock, there's the threat of her pimp finding out about her plans. If she pulls it off, what awaits?

Comments:

NOTE: The below Blu-ray captures were taken directly from the Blu-ray disc.

ADDITION: Code Red Blu-ray (April 2022): Code Red have transferred Vernon P. Becker's Dagmar's Hot Pants, Inc. to Blu-ray. It is cited as being from a "Brand New 2K Master". The 1080P image is weak. Aside from the marks and speckles, colors shift abnormally - it often has a green-leaning and blue can be teal-ish. It's in the 166:1 aspect ratio on a single-layered disc with a supportive bitrate. Texture is uneven and look more like noise. Details varies but there is mostly softness interspersed occasionally with a tighter close-up. I wouldn't be surprised if it came from video - it looks that way, anyway.

On their Blu-ray, Code Red use a DTS-HD Master dual-mono track (24-bit) in the English language. Dagmar's Hot Pants, Inc. has no strong aggressive moments. There are no notable sound effects. Audio is similarly weak with a score credited to Les Baxter (How to Stuff a Wild Bikini, Switchblade Sisters, The Man With the X-Ray Eyes The Comedy of Terrors, Panic in the Year Zero, The Beast Within, the US version of Baron Blood, etc.) The title song is 'You Say Love' is sung by Mike Clifford. Dialogue is audible-enough in the lossless transfer. Code Red offer optional English subtitles on their Region 'A'- locked Blu-ray.

The Code Red Blu-ray offers only a restored trailer - no other extras. I suppose a commentary could have focused on some of the Scandinavian gals (mostly Swedish); Diana Kjær, Anne Grete Nissen, Annelie Alexandersson, Inger Sundh although most of their work is all brief 60's and 70's T+A titles.

Vernon P. Becker's Dagmar's Hot Pants, Inc. isn't very good at all. I can usually be somewhat forgiving to this genre if it has some decent humor, cheesecake eroticism, a modicum of production values, a minutely engaging plot etc. Dagmar's Hot Pants, Inc. has none of those, imo with bad sets and obvious wigs. It comes across as a low-budget slap-dash effort attempting to capitalize on the sexuality angle, especially Diana Kjær (where the term 'bombshell' is debatable and you never see her, or anyone, wearing 'hot pants'.) I suppose that's obvious and there is nostalgia-value for some. As far as this goes - I thought Code Red's recent Blu-ray of Dirty O'Neil offered significantly more. To each his own.
