The Bellboy and the Playgirls
“A very funny tale about a man with a theory about girls!”
Synopsis
A re-edited U.S. release of the 1958 West German film Mit Eva fing die Sünde an (Sin Began with Eve), The Bellboy and the Playgirls (1962) features roughly fifteen minutes of new color footage directed by Francis Ford Coppola and edited by Jack Hill. The added material follows a bellboy who dreams of becoming a private detective and spies on a group of women at the hotel—lingerie sales representatives who give him more than enough to investigate.
