SnoopyStyle In a wild west park, Lucky (Stella Stevens) meets a mysterious man where she's given a plan to steal $500k in Las Vegas. Lucky and two friends showgirl Carol and trapeze artist Lisa try to rob the sadistic manager of Circus Circus Casino Eversull who is also secretly an illegal gun dealer. Lucky's boyfriend Victor is 5 months from retiring as a security officer at the casino. Carol is in debt to the thug A.C. who suspects she's making a run for it. Lisa is suffering from bouts of vertigo.Stella Stevens is not necessarily a bad actress but the other two are pretty close. The heist isn't that impressive and it takes way too long to get there. The production is poor although somebody hanging outside of the casino is fun. The movie oscillates between functional to badly made.

Wizard-8 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.

Woodyanders This on the money solid and enjoyable Crown International Pictures crime caper affair comes across like a cheerfully low-rent drive-in discount version of "Ocean's 11." Adding immensely to this film's already considerable entertainment value is the always charming and delightful presence of the divine Stella Stevens, who portrays the titular shady lady casino hostess with her customary winning blend of brassy firebrand panache and sassy sophisticated sexiness. Tired of her lackluster lot in life, Stevens plans on stealing a hefty multi-million dollar sum of cash from Circus Circus in order to make things better for herself. Helping Stella out with her daring heist are friendly security guard Stuart Whitman, rascally old high stakes gambler Jessie White, and the foxy salt'n'pepper distaff duo of Linda Scruggs and Lynne Moody. Standing in Stella's way is ruthless jerk casino manager George DiCenzo. Director Noel ("Youngblood") Nosseck keeps the pace quick and the suspense well-maintained throughout. Moreover, the thrilling robbery itself is staged and edited with breakneck aplomb, there's a nicely funky theme song called "Gambling Blues," Stephen Katz's sharp cinematography accurately nails the gaudiness of the Glitter Gulch in all its tacky day-glo splendor, and future big deal mainstream Hollywood feature composer Alan ("Back to the Future," "Predator") Silvestri supplies a splendidly snazzy'n'jazzy ersatz Lalo Schifrin score. Taut, involving and a definite must-see for Stella Stevens aficionados.

BaronBl00d Very, very humdrum movie fare here with Stella Stevens taking directions from someone in disguise(it didn't take me long to guess who it was) in Old Nevada Town outside Vegas for a money heist in the Circus Circus Hotel in Las Vegas. Stevens leads her girl gang of three, and they find out that they must act much quicker than had been anticipated. Despite some neat looks at Las Vegas in the 70's, very average yet credible acting from most involved, and a plot line with potential, Las Vegas Lady lays one big boring egg. It seems forever for the film to kick into gear,and when it does it just sputters here and there and never really speeds up. I was somewhat disappointed with this film. Sure, I wasn't expecting anything great, but I at least thought this might be one of those neat exploitation films from the 70's or something like it. Not even close. No one dies. There is a lame gunfight between creaky Stuart Whitman and officious George DiCenzo, one year prior to his grand performance as the prosecuting attorney Bugliosa in Helter Skelter. The gunfight has all the suspense of watching a waterfall. There is one punch and one head hit with a blunt instrument. Beyond that nothing in terms of action. And as for the girls, don't expect much there either. Stella and her girls(both very mediocre yet pretty talents, get in a sauna and a bath. What do we see? Nothing but a fleeting side profile. Stella wears these nice open blouses accentuating her real talents, but I wish she would have been a bit more open with her performance. That way I could write one thing that would recommend the film. Alas, it was not to be, and I have little to say in this film's favor. It isn't a horrible film in any way, it just has nothing going for it either. YAWN.
