Today, this German obscurity is best known for

Today, this German obscurity is best known for its musical score, one of the late Brian Jones' few projects outside the Rolling Stones. It's a solid piece of work, not so bluesy and perhaps resembling "Ruby Tuesday" in a more rocking mode. Plenty of piano and harmonica, and Jimmy Page (then a hot session player) is rumored to add guitar. As for the film itself, Anita Pallenberg (who apparently enjoyed relationships with all or most of the Stones during this era) stars as as a free-spirit waitress who accidentally shoots and kills her boyfriend during an argument. The rest of the film follows her erratically trying to dispose of the corpse. She picks up a young man (Hans Peter Hallwachs, who's still acting today) to give her some muscle, and he eventually calls upon one of his friends (Manfred Fischbeck) to help. How to secretly transfer the body to the car, and where should the poor lad be buried? There's not much more plot than this, and even a mere 87 minutes seems more time than the story deserves. "A Degree of Murder" was the second feature of Volker Schlondorff ("The Tin Drum," "The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum"), but the director's hand is not so visible beyond some rather awkward mind's-eye flashbacks. Mostly, you'll just enjoy ogling Pallenberg and trying to decipher her thick accent.

Beware of cranes !

Scond movie by the famous German director after "Der Junge TÖrless", this one was mostly influenced for better or for worse(depending on whom you ask) by the French Nouvelle Vague.Almost entirely filmed on location,amateurish playing,and a very minimal screenplay:by accident ,a girl kills her lover she wanted to leave and asks for help to get rid of the body:two young "modern" men come to the rescue,but they are not particularly clever when it comes to hiding the dead boy.The most interesting part is the sequences filmed in the country ,where time seems to have stood still,away from drugs,violence ,woman's lib and sexual revolution.More a wandering through Bayern than a real thriller (the only moment of suspense occurs when a neighbor wants to help the threesome with their problem),it's typically sixties;music by Brian Jones."From the Rolling Stones" the cast and credits claim;towards the end ,the score oddly sounds like country pop.I do not think it's available on CD for the fans of the group

"But when you're young, you do a lot of things you're not supposed to do."

Excellent drama from West Germany (in German with subtitles) stars Anita Pallenberg as a waitress who has just accidentally shot her ex-boyfriend dead after a semi-playful scuffle in her apartment. The two had a volatile relationship, but she's still understandably upset--though not enough to call the police and turn herself in. Instead, she walks down to the local pub and finds a man there who needs money; hiring him to help her dispose of the boyfriend's body, she finds herself attracted to him--and also to his friend when they need help moving the body downstairs. Scored with a cacophony of "mod" sounds by Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones (who was dating Pallenberg at the time), "Mord und Totschlag" (which translates as "Murder and Homicide") is a fascinating study of how women control men. Our heroine, reckless or childlike one minute and controlling with her feminine wiles the next, is perfectly embodied by Pallenberg who, between a sad smile and a knowing look, is compulsively watchable. Director Volker Schlöndorff was a nominee for the Palme d'Or at Cannes. *** from ****
