Interesting facts

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

Production notes

Joan Collins had asked her sister Jackie for the film rights for free and Jackie agreed whilst contributing to the screenplay. Joan met George Alfred Walker, who established Brent Walker, at the Cannes Film Festival in 1977 while promoting Empire of the Ants. He became excited by the project as it was proposed as a British alternative to Saturday Night Fever.

Both Joan Collins' husband, Ron Kass, and Jackie Collins' husband, Oscar Lerman, also acted as producers on the project.

David Essex turned down the role played by Oliver Tobias.

Filming started in November 1977. The nightclub scenes were shot at Tramp, a nightclub run by Jackie Collins' husband Oscar Lerman.

Joan Collins said she and Sue Lloyd were drunk during the orgy scene.
