Known to her clients as Dagmar, she's a classy Swedish call girl in Copenhagen. After two years she's ready to quit, and we follow her on what she hopes is her last day in the trade. She wakes at 9 AM, gets her first call and a marriage proposal, checks in with her doctor, pays final visits to various clients, arranges to lease her flat, passes on her black book to a colleague, tries to beg off on an impromptu session with Japanese businessmen, has a quick conversation with her brother, and makes a couple of charitable contributions. All the while, her eyes on the clock, there's the threat of her pimp finding out about her plans. If she pulls it off, what awaits?

Vernon P. Becker's "Dagmar's Hot Pants, Inc." (1971) arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Code Red. The only bonus feature on the release is a vintage trailer for the film. In English, with optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature. Region-A "locked".
Presented in an aspect ratio of 1.67:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Dagmar's Hot Pants, Inc. arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Code Red.
This release is sourced from an exclusive new 2K master. The film has a solid organic appearance, but as you can easily tell from the screencaptures we have included with our review its age definitely shows. Indeed, there are numerous minor scratches, blemishes, and even bigger marks and stains that pop up throughout the entire film. Color saturation and balance could be better as well. Some transitions are shaky too, especially during the second half, where there is noticeable fading in some spots. In other words, there is plenty of room for various enhancements, recalibration, and cosmetic work that could make the film look a lot healthier and more attractive. I still think that this is a fine organic presentation, but you need to keep in mind that the visuals look dated. (Note: This is a Region-A "locked" Blu-ray release. Therefore, you must have a native Region-A or Region-Free player in order to access its content).
There is only one standard audio track on this Blu-ray release: English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. Optional English SDH subtitles are provided for the main feature.
The lossless track is fine. However, while viewing the film you will notice an occasional pop here and there, some light hiss trying to sneak in, and plenty of unevenness. So, time has left its mark and all of the limitations that are on the current audio elements are transferred without any corrections. Does this mean that you will be repeatedly distracted while viewing the film? No, I do not think so. You will just noticed what I described above.
If you have seen and enjoyed some of the popular Mazurka films, I think there is a pretty good chance that you will find something to like in Vernon P. Becker's Dagmar's Hot Pants, Inc. I am quite certain that this film exists because Joe Sarno convinced Becker that he could be successful producing and directing Mazurka copycats after the two collaborated on The Seduction of Inga, which enjoys something of a cult status now. I had never seen Dagmar's Hot Pants, Inc. before, so it was yet another discovery that I made thanks to Code Red. RECOMMENDED to folks that appreciate these types of genre films.
