The Naughty Stewardesses (1975)


"A shave and a haircut before a night on the town..."
I don't remember where, when or why I bought this, but I've been sitting on it for more than a year. I knew it was going to stink when I bought it, so it sat on my shelf until this weekend when I decided to get it over with. It was worse than I feared it would be.

"The Naughty Stewardesses" is the story of small town girl, Debbie (played by Connie Hoffman), who after several failed career paths decides to start over in California and takes a job working as a stewardess. She moves into a house with three other stewardesses who plunge her head first into the seedy California nightlife. Connie becomes romantically involved with Brewster, an older businessman she met on a flight, and meets Cal at one of his parties. Cal is a photographer and convinces Connie to pose for pictures. We learn later when Cal shoots a porno named "Locked Loins" that he's a member of the "People's Liberation Party". He conspires with another of Brewster's guests to kidnap Connie and hold her for a $50,000 ransom for their cause. Cal, temporarily recovering from impotence, rapes Connie while waiting on Brewster to show up with the money. Brewster shows up with guns blazing and saves the day.



Like so many of these films, it has the perfect setup for debauchery, but nothing happens. Early in the movie, Connie is subjected to one of her roommates shaving another roommate's pussy in the living room before going to a party. There are some creepy bed scenes with Brewster (played by Robert Livingston, a cowboy star from the 1940s who's supposed to be in his mid-50s, but easily looks to be 70), but only because he's so old and lecherous looking. Other than that, this was pretty boring. I watched this movie two days before writing this synopsis and I struggled to remember the basic plot elements. Other than some cool shots of old Las Vegas, this was a complete waste of time. It was neither funny, shocking nor sexy. If you're looking for softcore or a parade of flesh, look elsewhere. This movie sucks, and adding insult to injury, its sequel, "Blazing Stewardesses", is part of this DVD set and I'll have to watch it eventually knowing it will likely be even worse.

1/5
