精简剧情：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. 　　 　　Source: 世界電影經典回顧 2006 節目二 - 德國電影新浪潮
