The Stud – 1978 | 95 mins | Drama | Colour

Plot Synopsis

Dreadful sexploitation adapted from the lurid Jackie Collins novel charting the decline of stud Oliver Tobias. The appalling and pretensions script is deep-rooted in pseudo-snobbery and its wafer-thin characterisations of both genders are completely inaccurate and offensive.However, the film was so successful that it spawned a sequel, The Bitch (1979).

The promising young manager of a London night-club, Tony Blake (Oliver Tobias), is the virile darling of lonely,beautiful women who treat him as a sex object. He is manipulated by the wife, Fontaine Khaled (Joan Collins), of the owner of the club to satisfy her sexual needs, but he’s soon tempted by her nubile stepdaughter Alexandra (Emma Jacobs). Fontaine intends to introduce Tony to the wilder excesses of swinging with a surreptitiously planned orgy in Paris, but there’s an unwelcome surprise or two in store for the gigolo. Soon the shallowness of his existence and how he was just a disposable plaything for the well-heeled strikes Tony, and after spending Christmas back in his East End roots, he suddenly displays a new moral awareness.
