An ambitious diplomat, capitalizing on Bolt's celebrity, arranges for the U.S. to commission a statue for a London square to honor Bolt's achievement. Bolt's Italian wife, a renowned artist, sculpts an 18-foot nude of Bolt. In a pique, because he's neglected her for years to do his work, she gives the statue a spectacular phallus, telling Bolt that he wasn't its model. Thinking he's a cuckold, Bolt goes on a jealous search for a man matching the statue. The diplomat, too, wants changes in the statue to protect his conservative image. Can art and love reconcile? ...The Statue

Long forgotten classic
I have spent about 15 years trying to find this film which I saw one night tucked away on Beeb 2. It is very dated and of its time but it is a veritable whos who of British Comedy stars of its day.The humour predates all the so called lads films like American Pie but it is just as risque and does so in a uniquiely British way by the comedic genius that was David Niven.Watch it and allow for it's quanitness and I guarantee if you like British Comedies of the late 60s you will love it.BTW Listen out for the theme tune as I guarantee you wont get it out of your head.

Prime movie with some nudity
This is pretty good! Cleese and Niven are in it. Which is nice. And there is quite a bit of nudity too although sadly not from the main actress. They somehow manage to squeeze in an entirely gratuitous topless scene with the second female lead though. Good work!

Different
The film was not quite what I expected but good fun. Lovely to see David Niven in a comedy with John Cleese. It was good entertainment but not for young children, an adult film.
