Cinema of Attractions presents The Stud 1978 (18)

Dir. Quentin Masters  | 1978 | 95 mins | English 

Gather the girls and dust off your sequins this Palentine’s Day as we head to the what was billed as “the hottest disco in town” for a screening of Jackie Collins’ The Stud (1978), where “satisfaction is guaranteed” as you watch Fontaine Khaled (Joan Collins) run rings around gigolo for hire, Tony Blake. With surprising and illuminating talks by Dr Jo Parsons and Dr Julie Ripley from Falmouth University on how the Bonkbuster spiced up women’s bedrooms in the decadent age of DISCO.

Dr Jo Parsons is Senior Lecturer in English and Creative Writing at Falmouth University.  She is an expert on romantic fiction, and is currently writing a book on the Bonkbuster. Her books include ’Doomed Romances’ and ’13 Cornish Ghost Stories.’

Dr Julie Ripley is course leader for Costume Design for Film & TV at Falmouth University.  She is interested in everyday dress, onscreen and off, and has published on surf culture, horror films and more recently, Succession.
