Angel Baby (German: Engelchen - oder die Jungfrau von Bamberg) is a 1968 West German comedy film directed by Marran Gosov and starring Gila von Weitershausen, Ulli Koch and Hans Clarin.[1][2] Location shooting took place in Bamberg and Munich.[3]

Plot

Katja, a beautiful 19-year-old girl living in the traditional, conservative hometown of Bamberg,Germany is engaged to be married to her hometown fiancé. However, she is deeply troubled by the fact that she is still a virgin. For a very unique, sixties-sitcom reason, she doesn't want her future fiancé to be the one who "deflowers" her. She decides she wants to get some "sexual experience" out of the way before she settles down into married life,so she leaves her hometown and takes off for the big city of Munich to handle this "operation". She moves into a trendy apartment flat in the Schwabing district, which was the epicenter of the fast-paced, artistic bohemian lifestyle at the time.

Once she arrives, she gets caught up with various local playboys, artists, and swingers. Hilariously, she actually runs into trouble with the local hip tenants once they find out she is still a virgin in the middle of the sexually liberated "mod" scene. After navigating through a series of wild playboys, crazy discotheques, and fast-paced city thrills, she realizes none of it offers true love. Ultimately, she decides to reject the superficial city lifestyle and returns home to her fiancé to live happily ever after
