Nude Scenes from
The Bitch (1979)

Popular culture of 1979 was post-hippie, but not quite yuppie; post-disco, but not quite New Wave; and post-Star-Wars, but not quite completely infantilized by Steven Spielberg.

At local theaters (which were not quite all multiplexes—yet), Hollywood continued to present movies for adults: mature stories for grown-up people featuring adult themes, adult story lines, and that most quintessentially adult artistic flourish—nudity.

With home video still a few years in the future, grindhouses and drive-ins surged toward a crescendo, showcasing an explosion of exploitation that was also patently adult but not, to be sure, mature.

Let’s look now at some of our favorite nude scenes from 1979—eleven, in total, in honor of the rating Dudley Moore actually awards to Bo Derek in the movie 10.

Classy London Lassie Joan Collins became America's favorite bitch as Alexis Carrington in the nighttime soap Dynasty in 1981. But before that, she was the bitch in The Bitch. On this, the occasion of Joan's 75th birthday, I think it's high time to remind everyone how spankable this cultural icon truly is. To that worthy end, here is a list of three must-see movies for fans of St. Joan.

Oh, Alfie! (1975)

In this late sequel to the 1966 comedy Alfie, Joan plays the catcher to the designated pitcher and compulsive womanizer of the title. She'll get you to third base in about half a second when she bares her forty-something funbags.

The Stud (1978)

The Stud tells the story of a young hung waiter who decides to improve his lot in life by pounding his pecker into the pudendae of wealthy married woman. One of his cock deposit/cash withdrawal ATM s is played by Joan Collins, who shows boos and butt and has an orgy scene in a pool with two guys and another girl.

The Bitch (1979)

In this sequel to The Stud Joan plays an insatiable disco-dancing cougar and gets topless in the first few minutes of the movie. A classic slice of late seventies sleaze filled with sex, showering and disco dancing.
