Die Stewardessen
(1971)
According to the box,
this is known as Die Stewardessen, Swingin' Stewardesses, Les
Stewerdesses, La Hostess or The Stewardess Report. The title screen
gives us a choice of Die Sterwardessen or Alle Stewardessen Kommen
in den Himmel. IMDb is sure it is Sweet Sensations, but admits that
Die Stewardessen is the original title, and that it has also been
released as Naked Stewardesses, Stewardess Report, and The Young
Seducers. As the DVD, the title screen, and the original title per
IMDb is Die Stewardessen, I went with that.
It's a Swiss sex comedy from Erwin C.
Dietrich. Several stewardesses, all based in New York, have
various adventures of a sexual nature at assorted overseas destinations. First, Margrit Siegel flies to Zurich. She picks up a Swiss gentleman on
the plane, and he checks them into a hotel. He falls asleep while
she showers, so she finds a younger fella in the hotel. Next, she
and her friend Ursula Marty take a flight to Rome. Margrit agrees to
keep the gay co-pilot busy while Ursula puts heavy moves on the
playboy pilot. She is so successful, they come back engaged, and she
donates a key and an address to Evelyne Traeger, who is on her way
to Copenhagen. Evelyn is delighted to find not one, but two hunks
and the equally hot Ingrid Steeger in the apartment. Finally, we
follow a young woman who may or may not be a stewardess in Munich
during Octoberfest, where she gets tangled up with a Marxist who
lives in a commune.
These 70s sex farces are much alike, where the attitudes are
open, sex is portrayed as good clean dirty fun, the women are very
naked, natural and willing, and the men do what they are expected
to. I enjoy them, perhaps more so than I did in the 70s.
This is a top-notch example of the genre, although it got a
little ragged by the last story of the four.

Notes and collages

Paris Hilton showing her ass in a Halloween costume. Damn, so that's
what I lacked in my trick-or-treating!

A film compilation of
Rosie Perez in Do The Right Thing (samples right)

This is a surprise to me. A towering
Nicole Kidman playing a high
school track star in Room to Move. This is an Aussie made-for-TV
film from 1987 which was directed by John Duigan, the same guy who
directed one of our faves, Sirens! There's no nudity, but it is
fascinating. Kidman was really just about high
school age when it was filmed - about 19. Check out her hair, and her
perhaps too-thin frame. (sample right)

A film clip of
Julie Andrews in Duet for One.
I think this is the first time I have seen this scene in motion. I don't
know why this has never been on DVD. In addition to featuring the
career-best nudity from a major star who rarely got naked, it was directed
by one of Tarkovsky's most trusted collaborators, Andrei Konchalovsky, and
features many international superstars. You can see Liam Neeson in
the clip. Others in the cast include Max von Sydow, Alan Bates, and Rupert
Everett.
A film clip of
Sigourney
Weaver in A Map of the World. The quality is not spectacular, and it's
dubbed clumsily, but it is a rare full-screen version and therefore shows
all of the Sigourney Weaver lower-body nudity which was missing from the
widescreen DVD.

Comments in yellow...
Paul Croft, a factory worker from Nottingham, England, is not happy with J.K.
Rowling. He spent $1200 and two years having a giant portrait of Hogwarts head
wizard Albus Dumbledore tattooed on his back. He said, "It seemed like a good
idea at the time." But then, Rowling announced that Dumbledore was gay and in
love with another wizard. Since then, all the guys at work have been teasing him
and saying, "Watch your backs, lads" whenever he enters the room. Still, Croft
says, "I don't regret it, and I'm not going to get rid of it."
* Whoever imagined that spending $1200 and enduring two
years of pain to get a giant picture of a wizard permanently etched into your
skin would turn out to be a stupid idea?
Daniel Dae Kim was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Honolulu, becoming the fourth
actor from the TV show "Lost" to get busted in Hawaii for drunk driving or other
traffic violations.
* They may rename it "Lost Weekend".
