The 5-out-of-10 rating is strictly for the technical quality of the 3D in the film, the naturalness (and nakedness) of the actresses and the contemporary nature of the "plot".SPOILER ALERT HEREWell,there's no real"plot" at all. There are a number of stories, told almost Love-American Style style but much more adult, and with casual full nudity from most of the actresses and nearly as much from the actors. Gay themes; relationship/fidelity themes; humorous drug themes. And done with 1970's-style nudity, proudly unshaven. Bushy, even. One high spot in the showing I attended was the hallmark of any good movie: a couple left in a huff about 20 minutes into the film. Full marks there.But the pinnacle is (as of 7/17) the quality of the prismatic 3D. I have seen 3D movies since the 1950's and this film has some of the very best I have ever seen. There are some depth shots here that are almost unsurpassed at any budget level, and this was a low budget. But that said, this time "all the money was on the screen" is a truism. The technical level (on a movie screen, mind you) was mindblowing.SPOILER ALERT HEREWell, not really needed but this isn't a full "adult" (i.e. no penetration) film. There was an alternative version done with X inserts but this isn't it, evidenced by the copy I saw at my local Alamo Drafthouse. But if you want to see what CAN be done with the old technology of 3D, see this on a screen. It's impressive technically - just not as a movie.Unless you have a 3D TV and a recent Blu-Ray copy of this film or you are lucky enough to actually catch a theater showing of The Stewardesses I can't recommend it. With either of those (and preferably on a screen) it's a must-see.

This film is not like too many today where the medium is more important than the content. Just look at 3D Avatar or digital TV. There's nothing on the TV to watch but plenty of writing on the corner of the screen and menu gadgets to play with. The Stewardesses are interesting and involving characters. Christina Hart plays an ambitious stewardess who wants closeted gay adman Michael Garret to help promote her career as an actress. She discovers a downer of a nightmare evening together with him. Jo is the lesbian head stewardess who has a wild fling with Kathy, promising a promotion for her in return. The 60's are well captured in segments featuring nude yoga and a 3-D acid trip! Each erotic adventure is well staged and never repeats the same style of the last one. The drawbacks are objects filmed just to show the 3-D vision at work, but these are minimal and don't distract from the story or actresses involved. 3D on a full color DVD did not work for me. The best parts that looked 3D with glasses were not as good as a double coated baseball card picture.

I saw this in the theater in its 3D version when it was originally released in 1969. It stunk to high heaven then and it can't be any better now. Scenes of a woman being brutalized in the bedroom and then jumping out a window hardly fit into a movie described as a comedy-drama. Nudity for no other purpose than titillation does not a movie make. The 3D effects were not all that good and did nothing at all to add to the enjoyment of the film. It has been 35 years since I saw this movie and I still think of it as the worst film I have ever viewed in a theater. My companions and I asked for our money back but were refused. Other vignettes within this "movie" included the story of a man who was traumatized by an act of sodomy. Cheery stuff, eh?

I must confes than I am a big fan of Monica Gayle, who although does not appear in the credits, has a phenomenal scene where sit sits naked and meditates and stretches her nude body every which way but loose. That scene lasts 30 seconds. The rest of the movie isn't much. Lots of pretty girls with a minimal amount of nudity, but not much in the way of plot. The film ends with Monica Gayle addressing the plane over the P.A. system. Watch her introduce the stewardesses and, amazingly, forget her name as well as the name of one of her co-stars. Incredible that they didn't re-shoot it, but that's low budget films for you.
