Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Business Is Business
BUSINESS IS BUSINESS (Wat zien ik?) is a dutch movie directed by Paul Verhoeven in 1971.

In the Red Light District of Amsterdam, Greet and Nel live in a small house where they receive their clients. While Nel must cope with a pimp, Greet is a free prostitute. Both dream of meeting a nice man to marry but all their clients seem to suffer from the most bizarre sex fantasies. True love will nevertheless appear in their lives.
