Hard to know quite what to say about this. My print is titled, Dagmar's Hot Pants, and at least the name change is appropriate as she never wears any hot pants. This was clearly made in the heady days of the mini-skirt, although they don't look so 'mini' now, but released at the hight of the 'hot pants' craze, thereby tempting the powers that be to try and cash in. Of course, even today's shorts are actually 'hotter' than the infamous 'hot pants'. But enough! Back to the film, reluctantly. Supposedly a sex comedy, but like the British ones of the period, it is neither very funny or very sexy. The girls look OK and Diana Kjaer does well enough in the lead although she would hardly get much attention today, I would guess. The men are all awful and far too old. There are a few nice touches, Copenhagen location shooting, a montage of sexy antics and some decent dialogue but although there is plenty of nudity, all the sex takes place off camera. Probably just as well.

Dagmar Hot Pants, INC (1971) is a Danish movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a Swedish prostitute who is asked by one of her richest clients from America to marry him and come back to America with him. This is her big chance to start a new lifestyle but she will receive pushback from her peers and clients on if it's the right decision. Will the prostitute jump at the chance to change her life or decide to stay in her current line of work?

This movie is directed by Vernon P. Becker (Tickled Pink) and stars Diana Kjær (Fanny Hill), Robert Strauss (The Seven Year Itch), Ole Søltoft (Bedside Dentist), Inger Sundh (The House of Beasts) and Tor Isedal (The Virgin Spring).

This movie was definitely an excuse to mix soft porn with slapstick comedy. The movie is well cast with beautiful ladies and contains plenty of nudity, as you'd expect. The storyline actually makes sense for their goal. There are some fun scenes like when the main character informs her colleagues about her decision. The dialogue and circumstances overall doesn't take itself too seriously and are pretty fun. Even the soundtrack was solid.

Overall, this is a tongue and cheek import comedy that's a huge step down from Porky's but still worth a viewing. I would score this a 4.5/10 and only recommend it if you watch it with the right mindset.

As Swedish (or Danish?) erotica goes, this is not one of the more memorable films. It is basically a day-in-the-life look at a young Swedish girl (Diane Kjaer) who is working in Copenhagen as a prostitute in order to put her oblivious boyfriend through medical school. The funniest and sexiest scene is one where she calls her other prostitute "friends" to fill in for her with a client, but each of them is otherwise engaged in various kinky pursuits. Her relationship with her own clients, however, like an elderly American and a couple of Japanese stereotypes, or her dealings with her doctor and her pimp are far less interesting. There's also a sub-plot involving her younger brother who has gotten his girlfriend (Inger Sundh) pregnant, but it really goes nowhere. There's PLENTY of nudity, of course, but that can only take a movie like this so far.

Some of the best Swedish erotica was actually directed by an American Joe Sarno ("Inga", "Young Playthings") or the soon-to-be-world-renowned Swedish cinematographer Mac Ahlberg ("I, a Woman"), and it tended to feature actresses like Marie Lilljedahl ("Inga", "Eugenie, Story of her Journey"")or Christina Lindberg ("Young Playthings", "Thriller--a Cruel Picture"). None of these people was involved here, although the sexy Inger Sundh had starred as the malicious "Greta" in the Joe Sarno/Marie Lilljedahl sequel "Inga and Greta". Helli Louise from Sarno's "Daddy, Darling" is also in the supporting cast here somewhere, but if (as another reviewer says), she is the girl on the bicycle, then this is really a waste of her, um, talents, which were almost exclusively from the neck down.

If you really like early 70's Swedish erotica, you'll probably like this, but there are certainly more entertaining examples to be found out there.
