Ever since I happened upon this utterly awful film one rainy afternoon on BBC2 I've wanted to re-watch it to see if it was as bad as I'd remembered. Unfortunately I didn't know anything about it apart from one actor who was vaguely familiar. There was one particularly woeful scene where said actor, whom I now know to be called Harold Goodwin, was dancing with a bunch of girls around a piano. According to my memory, after the tune finished, he exclaimed in a Lancashire accent: "oooh int it groovy!"
So after 40 or so years I discovered that Operation Cupid was the movie, and apart from the fact that the line turns out to be "It's a real groovy tune!", it's every bit as execrable as I remembered!
There's not a single aspect about this movie that makes it worth watching, apart from that fact itself. Ridiculous, dull and unfunny plot; shocking acting replete with Dick-Van-Dyke-style cockney accents; a posh, gullible old military duffer; a wicked devious gold-digger woman; and a clumsy Norman Wisdom type leading man (without any of the charm or talent of Wisdom himself).
The "comedy" attempts are sometimes actually funny, but for entirely the wrong reasons. There's a set piece with an electric fire that I won't describe, but if you tried to write it yourself based on that premise alone you'd almost certainly make a better job of it.
Only of interest to those who seek the purest forms of terrible movie-making.
