I feel so deprived of something. I've known for some time that I'm SUPPOSED to find Joan Collins attractive. But like so many others such as Ingrid Pitt, Barbara Hale, Angie Dickinson and several others, I just don't see it. I know it's there, but I'm missing it. Even on the Star Trek episode where she was younger she does nothing for me. I will say her bod looks the nicest in this movie I've seen. And I'm a total anglophile too. I always say a British accent adds several points to a woman's attractiveness score.
The fun thing is seeing an actress that I hear others say is attractive, like Shirley Maclaine, Elizabeth Taylor or, just recently, Rosemary Clooney that I have always gone "Eeeyuk" to and suddenly I find a movie from their distant past like "Trouble With Harry" and say "OOOOHHHHH, NOW I get it!"
Joan is truly gorgeous in this film, and commands the screen perfectly. I love the way she quips "Merry Christmas!" to her husband after bashing his head in, and her smirk as she reads the giftcard he has written for her whilst she lights a ciggie. Joan also looks truly ravishing in QUEST FOR LOVE, made about a year before this, and she gives a fantastic performance in QUEST too.

Such a gorgeous evil minx, she's the reason I'm watching this on Christmas Day!
"Seen one eat a rocking chair one time...."
As a gay man having just re-watched this movie for the first time in years I agree, she was absolutely gorgeous in this. I also loved her character's sense of style. Very 70's-chique!
shareSame here! I re-watched it last night after 4 years or so, and couldn't help being fascinated all the time while watching her on screen. So stunning... She was nearly 40 at the time, but still looked way better than most girls half her age.

I totally agree....and not just because I like your name OP ;)
I watched this for the first time last night on TV, but I turned it on a bit later and missed the start. I switched on literally as she kills him... 'Merry Christmas!'.
From that moment, I couldn't keep my eyes off of her....she was stunning in this film. Like others, I just wish there was more of her in it! Even that 70s outfit worked on her fantastic figure. I'm used to seeing the contemporary Joan, who is obviously still fabulous, but I didn't realise just how....I'll say it....hot she was back then.

I'm watching Joan Collins' segment just now and I don't think I've ever seen her look more fabulous than she does in this film. What a babe, not least for someone who had just hit their 40s at the time. I have a humongous girl crush on Joan in this role. What a sexy badass.
shareI heartily agree Major:very pert and quite buoyant!I might have to have another look at "The Bitch" & "The Stud"!
shareShe is a stunning lady. Always has been. Very pretty, sexy, and glam!
Don't make 'em like that anymore LOL.
I hate to trump your parade, but I thought Angela Grant, the mistress, was more beautiful than Collins. Grant has better skin tone, eyes, and complexion.
Collins is too pale and eye-browless for my taste.
