Product Description

Joan Collins double bill. In 'The Stud', waiter Tony Blake (Oliver Tobias) becomes manager of a hip discotheque by sleeping with his boss's insatiable wife, Fontaine Khaled (Collins), but the life bores him and he returns to his East End roots. In the sequel 'The Bitch', Fontaine still lives entirely for pleasure, but she may have bitten off more than even she can chew when she embarks on a passionate affair with a young man on the run from the Mafia.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable 1970s Sexy Romp 1 Aug 2011
By E. A. Redfearn TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE

I recall seeing these two films on my local ABC Cinema during the late 1970s and remembering enjoying them too. Although they have dated badly, they are still worth seeing today just to see how life has changed for many of us who lived in those far off days, especially the costumes, cars, music and locations. I particularly liked the background disco music which brought back a lot of memories. It was of course, during the same era as the classic disco film Saturday Night Fever which had been released in 1978.

Joan Collins portrays Fontaine Khalid(some name eh?) a wealthy disco owner who also has a voracious sexual appetite. Becoming involved (not emotionally) with Tony Blake, played by Oliver Tobias, an ambitious young man who desperately wants to own his own disco. They share a strong sexual relationship which eventually destroys her marriage to a wealthy businessman. There are some hilarious scenes in this, and some rather raunchier scenes too. Guest stars are Emma Jacobs, along with Sue Lloyd and Mark Burns.

The Bitch I rather enjoyed as slightly better of the two. Once again, Fontaine Khalid wheels and deals her way through various men for sexual pleasure, and others for business purposes. Set around the high class area behind The Hilton and Park Lane Hotels, it provides glimpses of what London was like in those far off days. Guest stars are Michael Coby, Ian Hendry, Sue Lloyd and Mark Burns. An enjoyable romp.

As for the DVD presentations, I found the picture quality and sound not too bad at all considering that the ages of both films are more than 30 years old. There are trailers available and little else.

Worth buying considering the low price which is great value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic and a real laugh! 19 July 2011
Saw these films years ago (probably when I shouldn't have!) and they haven't changed! Amazingly cheesy lines but all in the perfect context of these great films.. If you like 70's disco, either for the first time time or re-visiting, the soundtrack to both these films is the best! Buy these as a gift or just for a weekend treat.. Money well spent!

3.0 out of 5 stars Seventies Soft Porn Classics 25 Feb 2009
By SilentSinger TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
When I was a teenager, like many of my contemporaries, I devoured the novels of Jackie Collins and my particular favourites were 'The Stud' and 'The Bitch' featuring the glamourous Fontaine Khaled as the main character. I'd never seen the films until now, so I decided to give them a whirl. The plots are pretty much as you'd expect from any late 1960s /1970s Jackie Collins novel: money, discos, glamour, diamonds, hairy men, cars, fur coats etc etc, so these films don't really disappoint on the visual images. The plots have altered slightly from the books, but nothing too vast. The acting's pretty wooden, especially from Fontaine's close confidante, Vanessa, but otherwise it's fairly competent.

The quality of the DVD picture isn't as great as you'd think though; it's as if they've just lifted them from the old VHS tape. There are no extras either - simply trailers for other similar films/sequels. To sum up: a good period piece with a fab soundtrack, but quite frankly, if you wanted high-class entertainment, what are you doing watching these sort of films anyway?
