本片根据真实故事改编,第二次大战期间,12名挪威破坏小分队潜入了德国在挪威境内的驻扎港,实施代号为“红色马丁”的破坏计划,11人被捕,第12人得以逃脱,并将秘密文件带回英国……。1970年是法斯賓達的電影人生中最多產的一年,單是劇情長片便拍了不下六部風格、類型、題材等皆各異的作品,而黑色喜劇《小心聖妓》便是其一。但對影迷來說,也許更重要的是此片乃法斯賓達自認最好的個人作品。雖然影片的名字像極與妓女有關,不過故事內容卻是另一回事。它主要講述一群苦候拍攝電影的人,因導演失蹤、器材不見,唯有在冠冕堂皇的西班牙酒店內有如行屍走肉四處飄浮,直至導演出現,大家才抖擻精神。怎料導演忙於拍攝之餘,更要落力應付各方滋事份子,令他疲於奔命,最後他還要面對巨大的財政壓力,而各位演員也開始鼓譟起來...此片無疑可說是導演的個人寫照,透過自嘲、黑色幽默等手法諷刺片場如地獄,不過更值得注意的是此片的混雜風格,既承接他早期的劇場化敘事,亦開其日後的通俗劇形式,可說是法斯賓達電影創作上的重要過渡作品。
1970 was the most prolific year for Fassbinder, he made six features of different style, genre and theme, and Beware of a Holy Whore was the director's personal favourite. Despite its title the film has absolute nothing to do with prostitution. With the director and equipment missing, a group of actors and crew can do nothing but to wait aimlessly inside a posh Spanish hotel. The director finally appears, but he is soon entangled with the trouble makers on the set and pressure from his financers| not before long, the actors are starting to get riotous…A black comedy and a satire of the movie set being "hell", a self-mockery on the perils of being a director. An important work where Fassbinder was making a transition from his early Brechtian style to more conventional narrative.
