A Woman Needs Loving (German: Eine Frau sucht Liebe) is a 1969 West German drama film directed by Robert Azderball and starring Eva Renzi, Horst Janson and Barbara Rütting.[1] [2] The film's sets were designed by the art director Robert Stratil.[3] Although produced on a comparatively low budget, it was marketed in a way that anticipated the exploitation films of the early 1970s rather than the New German Cinema.
