Tiffany Jones (1973) (2024)

• Review by dogfacedboy ★★★

  Pete Walker adapting a Daily Mail comic strip sounds like a randomly generated AI sentence, but it is real, it happened.

  Tiffany Jones has a decent premise with underbaked execution, but is a perfectly acceptable bit of lightweight fluff.

  There's lots of very 70s broad British comedy and and over reliance on things like funny foreigners, but it's too silly to object to.

  Anouska Hempel brings a playful charm to Tiffany, and is undeniably very attractive.

  In the end boobs beat a dictatorship, and that's something I can get behind.

  1973 In Review - April
  #3

  Light-hearted and occasionally unclothed adaptation of a British comic strip in the over-the-top, on-beyond-Bond spy fantasy vein.

  
  Anouska Hempel, who stars here as Tiffany Jones bought the rights to this film in 1998 to stop it being released on DVD. The film is based off a British comic strip, about a sort of female spy with St Trinians-esque capers. The film is absolute rubbish. Sure, most of these British sex films weren't funny or sexy, but at least most like Confessions Of A Window Cleaner weren't boring. We get an awful story about a dictator in a made up country called Zirdana and then just long gratuitous shots of Anouska mostly naked. It’s not a million miles away from soft core p*rn material.

• Review by Jumpingfrog ★½

  Based on a newspaper comic strip (along the lines of the earlier better remembered Adventures of Jane.) A no budget British sex comedy. Not horrendously made but unlike the rest of it's ilk even even lacking coarse humour and without any major sitcom stars slumming it (although there are a couple of familiar faces.) There's no sex either, but quite a bit of remarkably innocent nudity. The film's atrractive star Anouska Hempel has gone on to better things and is apparently very embarrassed by her earlier career.

  This has turned up on Amazon, in a beautiful print, bizarrely with the 90s Time Warner WB logo at the start. Surprising, considering Anouska Hempel had allegedly bought it and vetoed it.
  But yes, I'd heard stories about this Pete Walker comic strip adaptation (complete with casual font titles). I was expecting it to be terrible, but with a tone half-sex comedy/sitcom movie/70s Carry On and half-Diabolik type Euro-comic adap, it's oddly watchable. Eric Pohlmann's presence adds tons of gravitas.
  And the cast is a mix of 'it's them', including young Geoffrey Hughes, Lynda Baron and a pre-Allo Allo Richard Marner, Sam Kelly, Derek Royle AND Rose Hill.
  Has the News at Ten (with the theme and all) hosted by…

• Review by Andy Fritz ★★★

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  A lingerie model wants to overthrow an tyrannical Eastern European dictator and to take a whole bunch of baths. And she manages to do both.

• Review by Lee ★★★

  Been feeling rather under the weather this past week and was happy to find brazen and breezy distraction with this previously unseen Pete Walker flick. Despite the sensationalist exploitation filmmaker coming from a background as a stand-up comic, I must confess to being rather underwhelmed by the humour (or lack thereof) in Walker’s earlier sex comedies. Similarly, Walker’s earnest attempts to infuse his London gangland thrillers with his deep affections for classical Film Noir never quite managed to stick the landing for me. Thankfully, TIFFANY JONES sees Walker and his regular crew (composer Cyril Ornadel and the three other Peters: DP Peter Jessop, camera operator Pete Sinclair and sound recordist Peter O’Connor) throwing themselves wholeheartedly into a ‘flesh and farce…

• Review by James Bessant ★★

  I have never read the comic strip it is based on so I cannot go on a rant about the inaccuracies. However, the premise a fashion model who decides to help topple a dictator of a fictional country isn't that bad a premise for a film. Add in attempts at comedy and liberal doses of nudity and you have this mediocre film. Not a bad hangover movie really.

• Review by moontribe ★★

  Directed by Peter Walker, who had a little run of horrors in the early 70s, this is based on a comic strip from the Daily Mail. It is one of those English saucy comedies that were rife in the 70s and mainly involved beautiful young ladies finding interesting ways to remove their clothes.

  There is no violence or bad language and no actual sex scenes in this. The man star Anouska Hempel does show a little T&A but more importantly she has a wonderfully charismatic on-screen persona. Although apparently once she married into wealth she tried to buy the rights to prevent future showings.

  There is one segment in which the director must have remembered what type of film it…

• Review by Russell Dean ★★½

  I have a cold.
  I had searched Pete Walker on IMDB for reasons.
  Prime Video suggests this when I open it up looking for rubbish to watch while off work with a cold. These things are related.

  I watched it. Loads of British sit com actors running about, with gratuitous, but non-sexual nudity every five minutes.

  Ray Brooks is ace as always.

  
  It is fine. Leave me alone, I'm not well.

  Some funny bits.

• Review by Dwightfry ★★★★

  Saw this movie pop up and read the description and it sounded intriguing. Watching the intro scene followed by the theme song and opening credits and knew I was going to in for a ride. Overall a good movie and worth giving it a watch.

  “Tiffany Jones is always full of fun...”

• Review by CincoDeNio ★

  Even though it's free on Amazon Prime it's not worth the time. Even the big scene about an hour in it's that much fun.

  Before there was Austin Danger Powers: International Man of Mystery, there was Tiffany Jones.
