Okay, take away Gene Wilder, Cleavon Little, and saddles...then add babes, bikinis, and sex in the cockpit, and we have 1975's "Blazing Stewardesses," directed by Al Adamson. With age, weight gain, and unions, the luster of being a stewardess has dissipated over the last few decades. In the 1970s, as Pan Am and TWA hotties still engaged in catfights, being a stewardess was a profession with glamour and excitement. Al Adamson capitalized on this and today we will take a look at his classic exploitation film.
Debbie (Connie Hoffman) is a babe stewardess who has just caught her two-timing BF with a skank. Now she need to get away. An old friend, cowboy millionaire Ben (Robert Livingston) asks her to work a junket with two other hot stewardesses to his ranch/casino. If she agrees, there is a two week vacation there for her and her buddies. Joining Debbie is the ditz Lori (Regina Carrol), and Barbara (Marilyn Joi). On the flight over, the three stewardesses are joined by another one, Jackie (Nicolle Riddell) who will have that proverbial sex in the cockpit scene. The other stewardesses also seduce and enjoy pre-marital sex on the flight. Ben is eager for the babes to get to his ranch and desires them to "be nice" to the gamblers so they will gamble a lot.
Ben is having trouble. His evil foreman, Trask (Don "Red" Barry) has mustered a hooded gang of evil cowboys to rough up all Ben's employees and hijack trucks headed to the ranch. Ben loves legendary madam, Honey (Yvonne DeCarlo) and Trask wants Honey. Now the gals arrive and Honey wants them to be whores at her brothel. The gals will love, prance around in bikinis, ride horses, and seduce. Trask's men are dedicated to ruin Ben's ranch. Oh yes, The Ritz Brothers! They sing, dance, and entertain a lot. One of them will swap a lot of spit with Lori. Then there is the mysterious guest at the ranch, Bob (Geoffrey Land)...no spoilers here, but he may have some loving in mind for Debbie.
Stewardess-sploitation from an era when we wanted to see stewardesses on film. Today, stewardesses have become "Flight Attendants" and are retaining water and providing less and less service as the years go by. For some babes in peril drama, on a ranch where the stewardesses become cowgirls, see "Blazing Stewardesses."
