Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
mmcgee282 I remember coming out of the Capri theater,not in Dallas,after seeing Diamonds are forever,James bond film, and saw the advertisement of this film back in 1971.I wanted to see this film cause it was in 3D.I became a 3D fan when it was dead.The problem is that it was rated x.Years later I learned that it was re rated as an r back in 71.I was under age.I finally saw it during the 80's revival of 3D.It was in wide screen and 3D.For a long while ,years later,I was wondering when it was going to come out on DVD in anaglyph 3D.There was an internet discussion on the web page that I ordered Ed woods only hard core feature,Necromania ,some times back.It was recently that I discover that it was released on DVD in 3D anaglyph back in 2009.So I got it.The only problem is that they gave you only one pair of 3D glasses and it was the wrong type.The anaglyph on the film is red right blue left.The glasses they gave me was blue right red left.I was using my plastic ones .I had to turn them upside down.After that the 3D was okay.It's not the best film in the world but it's fair .It's a cult classic.Another thing it was not letter box for wide screen.It was cropped.I later learned that it was shot in a single strip process splitting up two images and due to the fact they had to include optical sound track,The producers had to squeeze it,giving an artificial wide screen affect Both color and black n white 3d was good .The flat was also excellent print.It include interviews from the crew and the actors and producers.This was 2005.Al Silliman j.r. was still preserved .So was one crew man for the road show version.That handsome pilot,make up artist and actor William Condos was now a very old and probably in his 80s.Christina Hart,who hated doing the production was still very much youthful in 2005 for her being in her fifties.She regretted doing this film and thought it was a bad film ,when she was interviewed.The 3d was good,but, it be better in blue ray Polaroid.It was stereo vision process that was used in films like Jaws 3d and Friday the 13th 3d.What probably killed the 80s revival is the fact that the simpler method of shooting a 3D movie made the image smalls and theaters had to close their screen aperture down.The 3D images were smaller I also learned that it did not work in drive in theaters.I still enjoyed the movie.01/17/16.Boy! it was not too long ago that I had blogged the anaglyphic version. The Blu-ray is now out .This results in a sharper clearer images on shutter active and passive active smart t.v. screens.This version does not have the interviews.I don't understand why.It's not released by the same company. It contains a soft core 3D short ,Experiments in love,which the review can be seen in the adult section of i.m.d.b.The 3D was good in the Samsung 3D t.v.It was also good in the red green#d of my Blu- ray burner player in my computer.It did very well in my color code adapter,3D Wizard. The only differences was that on the menus the title pops out on the shutter active and the red-green ,but, stays hardly popping out on the color code,the whole film pops out of course.It's still only 7.12/28/16
Uriah43 This film essentially revolves around seven or eight stewardesses who have an extended layover in Los Angeles and decide to have some fun. Since there are a number of various subplots within this movie I have decided to list them for the sake of clarity. First, "Samantha" (Christina Hart) happens to meet an advertising executive named "Colin Winthrop" (Ronald South) and because she desperately wants to be an actress eagerly goes out on a date with him. What she doesn't know is that Colin has a hidden secret that he has been nursing for several years and it's going to change their relationship rather dramatically. Meanwhile, "Cathy" (Kathy Ferrick) and "Jo Peters" (Anita de Moulin) go to a club to unwind but eventually head back to Jo's apartment. "Wendy" (Janet Waas), on the other hand, seems to have a thing for men in uniform as she first cavorts with a sailor in bed at the start of the movie and then afterward spends some time with a soldier who has orders to return to Vietnam. Yet another stewardess named "Annie" (Donna Stanley) decides to go home and drop some acid instead. Last, but not least, "Tina" (Paula Erikson) manages to get invited over to a playboy pilot's home which results in "Cindy" (Beth Shields) being left all alone. There is also another stewardess who apparently cheats on her boyfriend but I don't believe her name is mentioned. Now, as I stated earlier, there are quite a number of scenes involving different people and because there is no real character development—or much of a plot for that matter—it's quite easy to get confused on exactly who is doing what. This is the primary weakness of this movie. Throw in an extremely limited budget and awful background music and it's not difficult to understand why this movie has historically been rated so low. Rather surprisingly however, all of the actresses were quite attractive (with Kathy Ferrick being the best of the bunch in my opinion) which certainly helped this film immensely. Additionally, from what I understand there were a couple of promotional gimmicks and revisions done to this movie which dramatically enhanced the bottom line well beyond its actual merits. Of course none of the gimmicks can make this movie any better than it actually is and because of that I have rated this movie accordingly. Slightly below average.
billmarq I saw this in the theater in its 3D version when it was originally released in 1969. It stunk to high heaven then and it can't be any better now. Scenes of a woman being brutalized in the bedroom and then jumping out a window hardly fit into a movie described as a comedy-drama. Nudity for no other purpose than titillation does not a movie make. The 3D effects were not all that good and did nothing at all to add to the enjoyment of the film. It has been 35 years since I saw this movie and I still think of it as the worst film I have ever viewed in a theater. My companions and I asked for our money back but were refused. Other vignettes within this "movie" included the story of a man who was traumatized by an act of sodomy. Cheery stuff, eh?
weinerm I must confes than I am a big fan of Monica Gayle, who although does not appear in the credits, has a phenomenal scene where sit sits naked and meditates and stretches her nude body every which way but loose. That scene lasts 30 seconds. The rest of the movie isn't much. Lots of pretty girls with a minimal amount of nudity, but not much in the way of plot. The film ends with Monica Gayle addressing the plane over the P.A. system. Watch her introduce the stewardesses and, amazingly, forget her name as well as the name of one of her co-stars. Incredible that they didn't re-shoot it, but that's low budget films for you.
