Crown International Pictures serving up that sweet, sweet movie sugar that I love so much, with Stella Stevens (The Silencers) and Stuart Whitman (Demonoid) as a Vegas couple looking to get out by pulling a scam.
Stevens is Lucky, who is being ordered by a man in the shadows to use two of her friends, Carol (Lynne Moody, Nightmare in Badham County), who is in debt, and Lisa (Linda Scruggs), a trapeze artist with vertigo, to rob Circus Circus of $500,000.
Frank Bonner (Herb Tarlek!) is in this, as is George DiCenzo, who was the voice of Hordak.
You know who else got a role? Stella's son* Andrew, who may have failed to win the role of Luke Skywalker, but got to simulate arrdvarking Shannon Tweed in four movies. Of course, those would be the seminal Night Eyes II, Night Eyes Three, Scorned and Illicit Dreams.
This was directed by Noel Nosseck and is not the first movie I've watched from him. Yes, he also directed Best Friends and No One Would Tell - where Candance Cameron is trying to love a steroid addicted Fred Savage! - amongst many more efforts.
My favorite part of this movie is when Stella's character sings "Happy Birthday" - did they pay for the rights? - to Whitman's and he answers, "Is it February 1st?" That's his real birthday. Obviously - as you can tell by reading the above deep dive into all things Las Vegas Lady - I know way too much about these movies.
*Stella and Andrew also appeared together in Down the Drain, The Terror Within II and Illicit Dreams.
