Ruth Gassman is a naive newlywed in this surprisingly earnest 1967 German sex ed export that treads similar ground as such roadshow films of the forties as Mom and Dad. Unlike those films, however, this one was government-sponsored as a means of disseminating family planning information. A major hit at home, Helga was acquired and released in the U.S. by AIP, who also added a prologue and additional scenes. Gassman and director Erich Bender were back the following year with Michael and Helga.
