Hatte mich so auf diesen Film gefreut, ihn endlich auf DVD zu besitzen. Bereits 1984 konnte ich mir noch rechtzeitig bevor Joan Collin ihren Schmuddel Film weltweit vom VHS Markt entfernte eine VHS Kopie bei WOM zulegen.
Was ich jetzt vor einigen Tagen auf DVD ins Haus geschickt bekam war eine Frechheit.
Der Film ist gekürzt und nicht wie im Original 96 Minuten sondern nur 72 Minuten lang. Und es sind nicht einmal die pikanten Sexszenen die heraus geschnitten wurden , diese wurden lediglich etwas beschnitten. Die ohnehin schon dünne Geschichte wurde aus unverständlichen Gründen so gekürzt das sie nun an verschiedenen Stellen nun überhaupt keinen Sinn mehr ergibt.
Schrecklich ist der Ton auf der Englischen Tonspur 2,0. Die Dialoge sind schwer bis fast gar nicht zu verstehen. Schade auch um die geile Disco Musik aus dieser Zeit die einen großen Teil des Films ein nimmt. Auch hier ist der Sound ein Dilemma.

Best of all, KL recorded a commentary track with historians David Del Valle and Nick Redman. They provide a marvelous, witty, socially informative and surprisingly affection counterpoint to what's happening onscreen. In fact, the commentary is so delicious, and the movie's plot and dialogue so rudimentary, that one could just as easily watch "The Stud" over and again with just the commentary playing. It certainly spares one from that horrible music in the orgy scene.
Original review: Although the transfer sometimes suggests an old and well-worn print of the film, and it's in pan-and-scan, for the most part this trash-fest looks pretty good — as does Joan Collins, at her haughtiest and hottest as nightclub doyenne Fontaine Khaled. Ms. Collins gets her kit off several times, including in an extended orgy sequence (filmed by director Quentin Masters without a hint of eroticism) and, let's face it, that's why you're buying this movie. Vaya con dios. Sidekick Sue Lloyd is pretty spicy as well.
If you're really interested in plot and characterization (all three of you), the former is almost impossible to follow, given the prevalence of English dialects, and the latter surprisingly good coming from a cast of unknowns. As the title character, Oliver Tobias is eye candy for the ladies but also manages to work up a more sympathetic portrayal than one would expect. Disco music, mostly by 'Biddu' is omnipresent and there are lots of scenes on the dance floor, to bulk the film up to feature length. Like its successor, "The Bitch," "The Stud" gets to its climaxes quickly and entertainingly, and has the bonus of a leading man who can act. It mainly created a new generation of Joan Collins fans and, for that, deserves a remote niche in the cinematic pantheon.
