the fat spy (1966)


"I'd like to be a rose in your garden, but I'm just a thorn in your side."
An island is invaded by some teens looking for some fun, but the islands owner (Brian Donlevy) doesn't like them being there and sets his daughter, Junior (Jayne Mansfield), and Irving (Jack E. Leonard) the task of getting rid of them. Further trouble come from Irving's twin brother, Herman (Jack E. Leonard), and Camille Salamander (Phyllis Diller), who are also on the island, looking for the fountain of youth.
A troubled production, saddled with a director who could not direct, a mess of a script and actors who if they could act, just could not be bothered to try. Some things were just not meant to be seen, but on the plus side, it does feature some interesting music by the Wild Ones, of Lord Love A Duck fame.
