There's a Girl in My Soup (1970)
Country: GB
Technical: col 95m
Director: Roy Boulting
Cast: Peter Sellers, Goldie Hawn, Tony Britton, Nicky Henson
Synopsis:
A pompous TV gourmet with a sideline as a corny Lothario meets his match in a liberated blonde from the United States.
Review:
The chief interest of this modish sex comedy, whose gags are trivial and in which Sellers does his not terribly funny lounge lizard act (almost certainly the inspiration for Austin Powers), is the script, which confronts the antiquated sexism of the upper class roué with the affectless promiscuity of swinging London and finds the latter wanting. Doubtless this was the thrust of the stage play before it was opened out to include a rather unnecessary jaunt to Cannes and Pouilly-sur-Loire. Performance wise, Hawn and Britton are actually very good and guarantee a modicum of sparkle, even if the story fizzles into a not wholly convincing resolution.
