I'm afraid I can't give this product a good review. The Stud was a bit better than the Bitch, which is why this product gets a 2 at all. It had a bit of story to it, and it was fun to see the seventies looks of it. Other than that, it wasn't good at all. The Bitch was even worse. I'm afraid time hasn't been good for these movies and people these days have come to expect more from a movie. I fell asleep several times during the Bitch, and it was hard to stay awake. After watching these, I saw another bad movie - but the experience of having seen these two prior made that movie seem like a brilliant masterpiece.

From the mighty Brent-Walker Distributors (the 70's British equivalent of Anger and Warhol!) comes a sexy Joanie and Jackie double-bill!
Wow, just relax and bathe in that sleaze.

In both movies, Joanie plays Fontaine Khaled - rich, bored, horny.
In 'The Stud' - the first film in this monumentally erotic series - she takes up with her night-club manager (Oliver Tobias), has her fun, dumps him, then loses the lot when her husband finds out. Simple but really emotional. Look out for an incredibly arousing copulation scene in a lift, and a Fritz Lang inspired orgy sequence; fuzzy camera shots evocatively conveying the poor effects of chemical stimulants and the subsequent come-down.
Unfortunately, Joanie can clearly be seen wearing a body-stocking in this, and other sequences. Modern-day close-up dvd scrutiny is a lot less forgiving than the smoke-filled Rank's of the 1970's.

Though 'The Stud' is exquisite entertainment, the sequel 'The Bitch,' is even better.
Taking up with a diamond smuggler and the mafia, Joanie is joined by John Ratzenburger from 'Cheers' - younger, thinner, with fetching facial hair; his performance is a tour-de-force of shouting loudly over blaring disco music, while planning to sell a stolen ring. Fantastic.
This one also contains extreme and realistic violence - essential to the plot of course - as well as the smoulderingly beautiful soft-focus soft-core.
So view with caution - when little eyes are closed in Bedfordshire.

Popular music colossus Biddu does the unforgettable scores; both films boldly contain unending sequences of gyrating disco grinders, bopping to the likes of 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogie' and 'Native New Yorker' among others. The choreography is outstanding: on the throbbing dance-floors, sparkly purple boob-tubes blur with enormous flares and wicker sideburns in a whirl of excitement and photographic momentum.
Shout it loud and proud: "Let's..Go..Disco !!" clap your hands now...

So, for a succinct slice of salacious, sequinned, 70's sleaze - you need look no further than 'The Stud/Bitch' double-bill. Forget 'Last Tango in Paris' or 'Confessions of a Driving Instructor' - this is where the true spirit and mystique of high-impact Euro eroticism dwells.
I pray nightly to all my gods, for a Paris Hilton remake.

These two movies contains the maximum skin show by Joan Collins. The story is nice too...in all a Great Treat for Joan Fans

This movie pack is definitely for adult viewing!!! If you are familiar with jackie collins books, well the movie adds the visual for sure. Joan Collins fits her role well as the bitch.
