LAS VEGAS LADY(1975)
In the set: 100 Greatest Cult Classics
The cruxt of the story here is that there are
three ladies planning to rip off Circus Circus
in Vegas! Of couse it wouldn't be a movie if everything
went smoothly! Kind of dull acting, which is sad
as there's a couple of decent actors here! It
also doensn't help that the movie has been chopped
here and there! C+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
With a title like "Las Vegas Lady", and being
released by Crown International Pictures, one
might understandably think that this movie is
some kind of sleazefest. But surprisingly it's
far from that. For one thing, the movie barely
warrants a PG rating, with some very brief
nudity and a couple of harsh words. Plus,
the movie aims to be a caper movie. Nothing
wrong with that aim - caper movies can be
fun - but the execution of this caper movie
is almost totally botched. The first half
of the movie is almost totally made of
low energy scenes that seem to serve no
purpose except to pad out the movie.
Viewers will get really impatient quick.
And when the caper is executed, there
is absolutely no tension and no energy.
There is a "twist" in the final few minutes
of the movie, but it's a twist that
you'll guess in the movie's first ten
minutes! On the positive side, there
is actual filming on Las Vegas and
surrounding Nevada locations, which
helps the look of the movie. Also,
Stella Stevens and Stuart Whitman
have welcome presence, and generate
some chemistry in their (limited)
scenes together. But this positive
material won't prevent you from falling
asleep long before the end credits
start rolling. - Wizard-8
