I Watch Films: Tiffany Jones

 

Tiffany Jones

Tiffany Jones is an English model in London, who gets into various escapades (the opening sequence has her posing on a bed that feels as though it’s floating – and indeed it’s floating out to sea). She shares a flat with her more sensible friend Jo. Often their friend Guy, a photographer, comes around and Tiffany is inevitably in the bath or in her pants or otherwise semi-naked.

President Jabal of Zirdana is coming to London. He’s signing a trade deal with Britain, also meeting some arms dealers, also he intends to track down Tiffany Jones who he’s had a crush on since seeing her in an advert some years before. Two Zirdanian opposition groups have got wind of this, though only though copies of the picture; first the left wing revolutionaries whose London cell operates out of the kitchen of a Zirdanian restaurant, and Prince Salvador, a photographer who has been in exile since Jabal overthrew his father.

After being brought before Jabal Tiffany decides to try and work against him, including keeping him from the meeting with the arms dealers by having him come to address the models’ union tea party, at which they strip off (and manage to convince the president and his aide to lose their uniforms). This is a comedy based on a comic strip, and Tiffany has a bit more going on than some scantily clad comic heroines. Still, her reason for backing Prince Salvador is because he’s handsome and good looking. Some jokes are pretty good, the stunts less, the plot itself ludicrous.

Watch This: Bawdy 1970s comedy with a bit of heart and wit
Don’t Watch This: When it runs out of heart and wit it’s just scantily clad women fooling fat middle-aged men
