Very funny and unique approach to sexual attitudes in the early-1970s, this script presents a free-thinking female lead character not afraid to live an open life with as many men as she feels it takes to round out her existence. Possessing a varied cast of actors from John Carradine to Joyce Jillson, and filmed on location in New York, Miami and Los Angeles, the many plots Jillson as Tara B. True, an airline stewardess, participates in are nicely intermixed and play out all resolved at the end with total clarity. Lots of nudity with sexual situations done in totally good taste put forth to entertain, not offend. Looking at this film is like stepping back in time and participating in the wild, long gone free-spirited times of the early-1970s. It's impossible to not find this film endearing and a movie one will want to see again and again.

I had a dilly of a time trying to figure out if this movie was some kind of feminist statement on the empowerment of women or a soft-core porn movie with very little porn. I soon realized my point was moot as cheese is cheese, no matter what hat it wears.
Superchick stars Joyce Jillson as Tara B. True (Yeah, I know, I thought the same thing). Anyway, Tara is a flight attendant with Crown International Airlines (Hey, Crown International is the company behind this movie...what a coincidence!) and we find that in each of the cities that she makes frequent stops in, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, she has a boyfriend. In New York, there's Earnest, the witty, mature, sophisticated, wealthy brain surgeon. In Miami there's Johnny, the young, athletic type, and in Los Angeles there's Davey, the young rock superstar. He's supposed to be the creative type. They all share one thing in common besides Tara in that they all want to marry her. Also, none of them knows about the others. Being the free spirit she is, she declines all their offers, preferring to keep things they way they are. A really big deal was made how all three of these men fell so hard for Tara, even Johnny, the playboy. And a playboy he is, as we see him getting it on with a rather large busted woman about five minutes before he's supposed to pick up Tara at the airport. Seems sleazy, but we do find out that part of how he makes a living is as a tennis instructor, with a fringe benefit of private lessons with some of his older, rich, female students at his houseboat. Yowsa!
Anyway, the movie sloshes along, providing not so much a story but a string of rather lame vignettes. We get to see Tara at karate school, along with some really horrific fighting choreography.

I really enjoyed this film. Full of great sets and oddball characters with splashes of nudity throughout. The print is exceptional and the music and photography first rate.

A few women are topless only. One woman gives a side view being fully nude. You can see a little hair, but nothing I'd consider a full frontal. Another woman gives a full frontal but the scene is dark so you can't see anything.

Joyce Jillson, the titular "Superchick", has perfect diction and reacts to all of her predicaments with wide-eyed wonder, as if she were a cast member of "Sesame Street" or "The Electric Company". With her precise enunciation, cadaver-pale skin and rather mousy look, she seems more a choice for the "naughty librarian" role (I'm sure this was explored in all its possibilities in Seventies sexploitation...) than a swinging stewardess with a gaggle of man-toys. Nevertheless, "Tara B. True" (that's her name) maintains a bunch of male sex partners on each coast who all want to marry her ("You do indeed fulfill a need in my life", she chirps to one of them, in that weird "After School Special" voice of hers), along with the odd man on the side, including a Marine and ol' John Carradine (in one of his most embarrassing roles), gets high with a groovy black man at a swinging seventies "pot party", and beats up some bikers. Maybe Candice Rialson could've pulled this role off better. Anyhow, the film was competently put together, even if the dialogue was predictable and the jokes not so funny, and there's lots of cool old airline footage and neat seventies cars (a Javelin, no less).

For the Seventies completist, or fans of Joyce Jillson, I would say.

Joyce Jillson plays Tara B. True, a free spirited stewardess with a lover in every "port". This is a reverse "R" rated 70's version of "Boeing Boeing." John Carradine plays a bit role as a retired "B" grade horror actor. That was a tough one for him. The puns and jokes are campy and stale by modern standards. While it was designed to be a comedy, don't be surprised if you groan more than laugh... "even the autopilot made a pass at me." The movie claims Jillson is a karate expect, but it actually looks more like judo. If you expect to see Jillson do a lot of fighting with Uma Thurman karate moves, don't blink.

There is abundant nudity including Candy Samples. The only reason why anyone would watch this film is because Joyce Jillson (1945-2004) of TV's "Peyton Place" and Broadway gets naked.
