the murder of Margot.

St. Pauli: That's the rather incongruous designation for one of the world's leading entertainment centers. It's where the action is in Hamburg, Germany.. . the famous (or infamous) strip which is the city's center of vice. Garish clubs, casinos, elaborately decorated bordellos, and the world renowned shop window girls of Herbertstrasse. These are some of the popular attractions offered in St. Pauli. Another is the justly famed, and named, Hippodrome the vast nightspot that features continuous entertainment, as well as telephones at each of its hundreds of tables, together with a map indicating the number of all the other tables. Merrymakers are seated around a huge oval runway, on which 5cantily clad young ladies ride on docile horses, carefully weaving among the dancers. The girls' lobs are to entice patrons into ordering expensive drinks, outrageously priced meats, and perhaps themselves to "dessert." The Hippodrome is one of the more exotic and visible stops in St. Pauli. Other clubs and "houses" maintain lower profiles and make up the district's underbelly, where the world's oldest profession is freely practiced. It is against this vibrant night- (and day-) life that the realistic independent action drama, Females for Hire, is set. 5tarring is Curt Jurgens the veteran actor, whose screen career spans nearly four decades from Continental matinee idol to Hollywood's favorite "good" Nazi officer. In Females for Hire, he portrays a discredited doctor who takes care of the St. Pauli prostitutes' medical needs and becomes their confidante. In addition to the human drama of the doctor and his patients there is a 5tartling took at the underworld types who operate in districts such as St. Pauli, as well as the intrigue involved when prominent political figures and 5eemingty upstanding members of the business community become enmeshed in the world of prostitution and drug trafficking.
