"Zur Sache, Schätzchen" or "Go for It, Baby" is a West German German-language movie from 1968 and easily the most known work by writer and director May Spils. His co-writer here is Werner Enke, the man who also plays the lead character and won a German Film Award for it. Also for him, it is the most known work. And the film is also a contender for Uschi Glas' most known work as she was nominated for a German Film Award too. She was in her early 20s here and almost half a century later, she is still really famous in Germany and a successful actress. And some German film fans may find other familiar faces. The film is in black-and-white and runs for 75 minutes only. To me, it seemed a bit similar to the French artistic black-and-white films from back then, even if I must say I was not really convinced. It is always tough if a film lacks a plot completely and is basically a collection of impressions only, almost a road movie to some extent. I must say Enke definitely elevates the material and it would have been worse without. But all in all, I still found it too bland and uninteresting and the tense final scene did not save it, but seemed almost a bit desperate, so people would still remember it despite all the boredom from previously. And I always thought Glas was not a very talented actress, but really more charismatic than with lots of range, and this film cannot alter my opinion. She is clearly inferior to her male co-lead. I did not find it a good watch and give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended.
