The Stud is a 1978 British film film starring Joan Collins and Oliver Tobias. It is based on the 1969 novel of the same name by Collins' younger sister Jackie Collins.

Plot

Fontaine Khaled is the London wife of a wealthy but boring businessman. She spends his money on her nightclub, Hobo, and partying. She hires a manager, Tony, to run her club, but it is understood that his job security is dependent on his satisfying her nymphomaniac demands. Tony loses interest in Fontaine, and turns his attention to her young stepdaughter, who uses him to get back at Fontaine for cheating on her father. Fontaine then dumps Tony and is divorced by her husband for adultery.

Reception

Made for $600,000 (US) it netted over $20,000,000 internationally.[1] The sequel, The Bitch, proved to be a larger hit. Tobias later claimed that his typecasting in the film ruined his career, while Joan Collins credited the film for relaunching her own.

A majority of the tracks were disco flavoured, although some non-disco tracks were also included.
