Plot: Known to her clients as Dagmar, she's a classy Swedish call girl in Copenhagen. After two years, she's ready quit, and we follow her on what she hopes is her last day in the trade. She wakes at 9 AM, gets her first call and a marriage proposal, checks in with her doctor, pays final visits to various clients, arranges to lease her flat, passes on her black book to a colleague, tries to beg off on an impromptu session with Japanese businessmen, has a quick conversation with her brother, and makes a couple of charitable contributions. All the while, her eyes on the clock, there's the threat of her pimp finding out about her plans. If she pulls it off, what awaits?

My rating: 5/10

Will I watch it again?  No.

Titles like that from Denmark/Sweden and made in the 70s pique my interest every time.  Plus it's got Robert Strauss in his second to last role.  It's not a good one for him I'm afraid.  The story isn't bad but it's appropriately not much more than an excuse to string a lot of different scenarios to get girls naked in varying situations.  There's an attempt at comedy but I didn't find it funny.  It's mildly amusing at best.  There is an abundance of boobs and butts which would be the biggest reason anyone would've gone to the theaters for this one almost fifty years ago and for that, it satisfies.  The characters are cute and likable, the music is hum-able and the pacing is good enough that gives the picture more energy than a lot of these types of films from that era that I've seen.  I was borderline bored, though.  Comedies like this just don't do it for me I guess but I keep watching.
