Joan shows her true class October 4, 2008 G. R. Donaldson (Great Britain) 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
For anyone wishing to add a camp disco classic to their bulging DVD collection this really is your bag.
br /Watch as Joan cavorts with the now seldom seen Oliver Tobias in a trully desperate performance. The radio personality David Jacobs daughter Emma pops up as a bored teenage temptress in a very lame sex scene. I first saw The Stud at the cinema and at that time thought it all very glam,it perhaps hasn't aged that well. However when I saw it was available on Amazon I had to buy it. More for old times sake than anything else. So is it worth watching ? well I would list it as a guilty pleasure. Its a hard film to dislike.

Seventies Soft Porn Classics February 25, 2009 TheGerbilTamer (London) 4 out of 6 found this review helpful
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.
br /
br /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?
A Load of Old Mirror-Balls. October 15, 2009 Paul Ess. (Holywell, N.Wales,UK.) From the mighty Brent-Walker Distributors (the 70's equivalent of Anger and Warhol!) comes a sexy Joanie and Jackie double-bill!
br /Wow, just relax in that sleaze.
br /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 effects of chemical stimulants and the subsequent come-down.
br /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.
br /
br /'The Stud' is exquisite entertainment but 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.
br /Fantastic. This one also contains extreme and realistic violence as well as the smoulderingly beautiful soft-focus soft-core, so view with caution - when little eyes are closed in Bedfordshire.
br /
br /Popular music colossus Biddu does the unforgettable scores; both films contain unending sequences of gyrating disco grinders, bopping to the likes of 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogie' and 'Native New Yorker' among others.
br /The choreography is outstanding: on the throbbing dance-floors, sparkly purple boob-tubes blur energetically with enormous flares and sideburns in a whirl of excitement and photographic momentum.
br /Shout it loud and proud: "Let's..Go..Disco !!" clap your hands now...
br /
br /So, for a succinct slice of salacious, sequinned, 70's sleaze - you need look no further than 'The Stud/The 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.
br /I pray nightly to all my gods, for a Paris Hilton remake.
