Yes, but the color of her dress also contributed to the fact that her appearance was not so well received. Nude look was apparently not so popular ... The song deserved a better placement imo.

WEP 894 Posted June 25, 2020 Here is one from the category "I did not know, that he was still alive": Claus Biederstaedt, actor in several movies of the post WWII-era has now died at the age of 92. He mostly played young guys with even younger girlfriends and later, he was seen as middle-aged man, who dated young girls. I saw him last time in a comedy play years ago, when he was playing a frail grampa married to a young girl. https://www.ndr.de/kultur/film/Schauspieler-Claus-Biederstaedt-gestorben,biederstaedt104.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
