The New Adventures of Snow White (German: '''Grimms Märchen von lüsternen Pärchen''') is a 1969 West German sex comedy film directed by Rolf Thiele and starring Marie Liljedahl, Eva Reuber-Staier, and Ingrid van Bergen. The film puts an erotic spin on three classic fairy tales Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. It exemplified the downturn in the career of Thiele who earlier in the decade had still been a mainstream director, but increasingly found himself making lower-budget sex comedies.[1]

It was made at the Emelka Studios in Munich.

Release

The film received a wide release in North America as Grimm's Fairy Tales for Adults. It made $1.1 million in the US and Canada.[2]

The New York Times reviewed the film and said " It's as adult as almost any skin flick or striptease we've been getting in full measure these days."[3]
