The Bellboy and the Playgirls

The Bellboy and the Playgirls is a 1962 American and West German comedy film credited to directors Francis Ford Coppola and Fritz Umgelter, built from the 1958 West German black and white film Sin Began with Eve, which starred Karin Dor and Willy Fritsch. As a UCLA film student, Coppola was paid 250 dollars by producer Jack Hill to add about fifteen minutes of new footage shot in three dimensional color, describing his job as adding nudie sketches to a stupid German movie that had been shot in black and white, with the new segments featuring performer June Wilkinson. The film, released February 12, 1962, was believed lost after its initial run until a Coppola memorabilia collector recovered a print, and it stands as one of Coppola's earliest professional film credits before he began working with director Roger Corman.
