The Cuban Connection

Joachim Fuchsberger and Christine Görner play a policeman and a journalist, respectively, who are independently investigating a (pretty unbelievable) forced prostitution ring sending women from Amsterdam to Havana.

The side plot portrays Klausjürgen Wussow's revenge on Werner Peters for his mistress' death by sending Peters' young daughter on the same route (although how Wussow could cheat on the absolutely gorgeous Gudrun Schmidt is beyond me!)

I thought I'd seen all of Fuchsberger's police films from the 60s, but I just found this on YouTube - and I enjoyed it a lot. Fuchsberger doesn't have a whole to do, but the supporting cast is full of good actors who carry the story well. They hold your attention and have you caring for their characters' fates. Definitely recommended.
