Movie Reviews of Joan Collins: The Bitch
Movie Review: "Daring"
Summary: 5 Stars
After the commercial and critical success of "The Stud" Joan Collins would star in its sequel titled "The Bitch" in 1979. The plot follows "The Stud" pretty much the same way in which Fontaine (the Collins character) is a rich socialte living in London who uses men the same way they use women. In this outing Fontaine becomes entangled with the mob who attempt to destroy her life and her business.
Based on the best-selling novel of Jackie Collins, "The Bitch", along with "The Stud", would bring Joan to the attention of network executives and Aaron Spelling when they were casting Alexis in "Dynasty" in 1981. When asked if Joan ever had any regrets in life she is quick to respond that she wishes the producers had never used the title "The Bitch" as she found it offensive and expoitive. However, after much arguing with the film's producers about changing the title Joan realized it was a no win situation.
"The Bitch" was a commercial success, but it was not without its problems during production. The script was barely finished, the wardrobe was incomplete, had a medicore director, and the leading man could hardly be heard when reading his lines so they had to be overdubbed.
Still, I enjoyed "The Bitch" and Joan looks flawless. One also gets a great sense of the disco scene in Britain in the late seventies.
"The Bitch", unfortunately, comes in full screen format and no bonuses are included. I am still waiting for a full-fledged release of this film in widescreen, along with extras, that I hope is not too long down the road. It would be wonderful to hear audio commentary by Joan on the making of this film.
