Stacey (1973)

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

TITLE: STACEY was released in theaters on April 1 1973 starring Anitra Ford, Anne Randell, and Alan Landers. The time to watch this movie is 81 minutes.SUMMARY: Superwoman in detective guise, the inimitable Stacey solves family murder caper involving adultery and a large inheritance. The lovely Stacey (played by ex-Playboy pin-up Anne Randall), is hired by wealthy matriarch Marjorie Bennett to unravel web of lies and deceit spun by her entourage of sleazy servants and randy relatives, all vying for inheritance honors. Stacey and her sidekick (Alan Landers) soon discover elaborate (and equally confusing) plots to frame certain members of the family for the murder of a blackmailing minion. There's plenty of characters in this plot. First, the lovely and gorgeous Anitra ford who played the role of Tish Chambers. Then there was Cristine Ranies who played the role of Pamela Chambers. Then there also Matt and Luke. When Stacey gets to place of hired several members of the family who would do nothing to see the other one in trouble with the law greet her. We start with Tish who's sleeping with both Matt and Luke. However, Matt started to take pictures of him and Tish making love with a hidden camera. Tish finds out about but there's nothing she can do about it.QUESTIONS: Who Hired Stacey? What was Stacey hired for? What did Stacey Find out about the family members? What was on the film that Stacey found? MY THOUGHTS: If wasn't for all the nude scenes in this movie you could this movie was kind of boring. However starting with Anne Randell this movie was more than just boring. Anne was excellent in her role as Stacey and they plenty of shots of her beautiful body. Then you have Anitra Ford who was excellent in her role as Tish Chambers and they showed her beautiful body. Base on the drama, action, and shots of Anne Randell and Anitra Ford I give this movie 10 weasel stars

I've just been on an Andy Sidaris bender recently, watching his 80s/90s movies, which began with his BB (boobs and bombs) classic 1985's Malibu Express. Once I learned about the existence of an even earlier movie of his, Stacey from 1973, I of course tracked down a copy and began watching it. And to my surprise, there was something awfully familiar about this movie. Basically it's Malibu Express, except, of course, 12 years earlier! He ripped himself off!Here are the *similarities* I noticed. Both movies...-- start with a car being raced around a track, revealing a sexy female as its driver as she unzips her racing suit and shows us her boobs -- have heroes who are private investigators living on a boat docked in a marina and who drive corvettes -- have all the action's set in and around LA and Palm Springs -- start with a visit to some rich people's mansion in which the older matriarch is confined to a wheelchair -- have a rich older lady hiring the hero to investigate some family mystery -- show some creepy dude secretly filming or photographing a woman in the bathroom or bedroom -- have a chauffeur that has dirt on the rich family he works for and is blackmailing them for money -- have a member of the rich family who is a closeted homosexual -- have a character murdered and the key to solving the murder has to do with undeveloped film...... OK, I'm gonna stop now because if I keep listing these "similarities" I'll run out of space.Basically, if you've seen Malibu Express then you've seen this movie. Malibu Express is an unofficial remake or rip-off of Stacey, depending on your point of view.The main and seemingly only difference for that matter is the lovely Anne Randall. She's stunningly beautiful, gets naked (topless only) quite a few times and, to be honest, is actually pretty decent an actress in the context of an Andy Sidaris flick. You'll get more boobs from more women in Malibu Express, and that movie is funnier, but it doesn't have a girl the quality of Anne Randall in it, not even for a second.I'd recommend Stacey only for the die hard cheesy guns 'n' girls movie buffs.

Superwoman in detective guise, the inimitable Stacey solves family murder caper involving adultery and a large inheritance. The lovely Stacey (played by ex Playboy pin-up Anne Randall), is hired by wealthy matriarch Marjorie Bennett to unravel web of lies and deceit spun by her entourage of sleazy servants and randy relatives, all vying for inheritance honours. Stacey and her sidekick (Alan Landers) soon discover an elaborate (and equally confusing) plot to frame certain members of the family for the murder of a blackmailing minion.Tacky dialogue, shaky photography, disjointed editing, overbearing music and frequent over-dubbed scene fillers, are mildly compensated by lots (and lots more) bare flesh, coupled with the odd stroke of humour (Stacey's pyjama top reads "Fondle With Care", and is promptly torn off by her eager male companion, revealing a Superman blouse). The cast is diverse with veterans John Alderman and James Westmoreland whilst Stewart Moss appears uncredited in a major supporting role.Fans of the sexploitation genre will be more than a little disappointed, despite the vast array of motifs, as this film plays like a montage of fast cars and wild women, without continuity or an effective climax and resolution. Randall is aptly cast and gets good support from Anitra Ford and Cristina Raines, especially if you mute the volume. Whilst it's easy to be enamoured by the lusty Randall, you're likely to be left dazed and confused by the last hour and twenty. But that's okay, you can just watch her again ... "Stacey", that is ...

The female James Bond/Derek Flint/Columbo. Poor production, script, acting. Femme-fatale attempt fails horribly. Cop out ending has nothing to do with first 88 minutes of film. No continuity to story. Tries to be a good serious film and fails. Playmate not attractive enough to divert from overall pathetic production. Don't waste your time or money.
