Die Stunde des Löwen (1999)

A cocksure talk-show host finds his charmed life upended by a vicious kidnapping in the German thriller Die Stunde des Löwen (1999). Stefan Kurt stars as Harald Löwe, a shallow celebrity interviewer who’s torn away from an adulterous session with his personal assistant (Doreen Jacobi) only to be informed that his wife has been abducted. Feeling horribly guilty, the P.A. immediately gets busy with some amateur sleuthing. Meanwhile, Löwe frets about ratings and the lead investigator on the case has trouble looking past his hard-on for the sexy new gumshoe. It’s hard to blame him--it doesn’t take a Sherlock Holmes to see that Jacobi’s the genuine article as she undresses for some amorous give-and-take.
