Review of Stacey

Stacey (1973)
5/10
A Private Detective Investigating Blackmail and Murder
9 December 2020
As an elderly and exceedingly rich widow, "Florence Chambers" (Marjorie Bennett) is concerned about which members of her family are deserving of her inheritance and to that end hires a private detective by the name of "Stacey Hanson" (Anne Randall) to live in her mansion so that she can observe all of them first hand. It's during this time that she discovers that Florence's son "John Chambers" (John Alderman) is gay and that his wife "Tish Chambers" (Anitra Ford) seems to be having an affair with one of the servants named "Frank" (James Westermoreland). What she doesn't know is that Frank is in debt to a vicious loan shark and plans to blackmail Tish in order to get enough money to pay his debt. So when Frank is brutally stabbed to death it now falls upon Stacey to figure out who was behind the murder-and this puts her life in immediate jeopardy as well. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an okay film which had various amounts of action and intrigue along with several beautiful actresses like Cristina Raines (as "Pamela Chambers") along with the aforementioned Anne Randall and Anitra Ford to brighten the scenery. On the flip side, however, both the acting and the script could have clearly used some improvement and as a result I have rated this film accordingly. Average.
