"It is 1971 in Hamburg. St. Pauli with its Reeperbahn, the famous red light district, ladies in black leather boots, men with thin moustaches and golden necklaces, the unpredictable wild city jungle, this is the background for Wolfgang Staudtes film Fluchtweg St. Pauli (aka Hot traces of St. Pauli!). The story -- borrowed from the bible -- is about two completely different brothers (the good and the evil...). In the main role the legendary Horst Frank at his best, Christiane Krüger, Heinz Reincke and Klaus Schwarzkopf. Music by Peter Schirmann and the Rias Dance Orchestra. Fine little gangster grooves, pure crime-rhythm! Fluchtweg St. Pauli contains none of that mush of illustrative dissonances that some in the film industry believe generates excitement. Instead,wherever possible, the music has a function that is determined by the plot. In the opening scene, for example, whilst the introductory credits are being superimposed, the theme music comes from the radio in the taxi that the ill-tempered Heinz Reinke is driving while Heidi Stroh is getting drunkenly undressed in the back. And for the strip-tease scene in the dive, the Milljö, there is the sound of a Hammond-organ blues being played in a deliberately strident fashion, as can be heard even today from many a solo entertainer. Three further tracks have been added to the original Fluchtweg St. Pauli Soundtrack. 'Bleib sauber Liebling' which has been composed by Rolf Schirmann for a Rolf Thiele film and 2 remixes from the Crippled Groove Orchestra and the Crate Soul Brothers (Keyser & Shuriken from Hungary)."
