The Naughty Stewardesses Blu-ray Movie Review
Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman June 20, 2020 Note: This film is available as part of Al Adamson: The Masterpiece Collection.
Disc Eight of The Masterpiece Collection offers a double feature of then trendy "stewardess" movies, with Naughty Stewardesses
plying pretty traditional Adamson exploitation content, and with Blazing Stewardesses trying (and probably failing) to inject more nutty
comedy into the mix.

Without veering too far into absurd comparisons, Naughty Stewardesses might be thought of as the female equivalent of outings like The Rake's Progress or even Candide, where a naif, in this case an innocent young woman named Debbie (Connie Hoffman), has her eyes opened about the wild and woolly ways of the world. Debbie is a new recruit to a stewardess career, and the film charts her adventures with several other women, many of whom are decidedly more experienced than Debbie in any number of ways. This film is weirdly both more chaste than some might expect, while also at times more provocative than others might expect (there's the requisite Adamson rape scene, and there's another really questionable scene where a pilot takes off a stewardesses' underwear in the galley while a little boy passenger spies on them).
The Naughty Stewardesses Blu-ray Movie, Video Quality 

Naughty Stewardesses is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Severin Films with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.84:1. This is one of the better, more consistent, looking transfers in this set, but like many other presentations, there's the same kind of speckling, flecks and other minor damage on display. Stock footage of planes is especially rough looking. The palette is rather nicely suffused throughout, but there are pretty noticeable downturns in quality in terms of both palette, clarity and grain resolution at moments like circa 37:26, during one of the soft porn sequences, and later at around 1:28:20, which leads me to believe sections of this film may have been excised at some point and needed to be sourced from secondary elements.
The Naughty Stewardesses Blu-ray Movie, Audio Quality 

Naughty Stewardesses features a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono mix that capably supports the kind of fun girl group rock theme and other cues, as well as the dialogue, which admittedly can sound a bit boxy at times. There's a huge pop at circa 1:28:20, right when the video takes a precipitous turn for the worse (see above), which enforces my hunch that some kind of editing was made at some point and that things had to be recomposited as a result.
The Naughty Stewardesses Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

- Archival Audio Commentary with Producer / Distributor Samuel M. Sherman
- Fly Girls (1080p; 13:43) is a fun piece looking at stewardesses as a kind of "lifestyle icon" during the golden age of exploitation films. There are some great vintage stills included here, but the main narration sounds weirdly boxy in spite of much of the music sounding fine.
- Naughty Stewardesses Combo Trailer (480p; 00:59) includes Blazing Stewardesses, presumably for a double feature.
- TV Spot (1080p; 00:34)
- Radio Spots (2:39) include more combo material featuring Blazing Stewardesses.
The Naughty Stewardesses Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Naughty Stewardesses is pretty typical Adamson sexploitation fare, and it's certainly scenic (in any number of ways). Aside from a few passing issues, this presentation offers more consistent video and audio quality than some of the other films in this set, and both the Sherman commentary and Fly Girls featurette are very interesting.
