Spanish Fly (1975 film)

Spanish Fly is a 1975 British sex comedy film directed by Bob Kellett and starring Terry-Thomas, Leslie Phillips, and Sue Lloyd. The film follows the misadventures of a British vintner, Sir Percy de Courcy (Terry-Thomas), who is struggling to produce a palatable wine in Spain. His fortunes change, however, when a chemist creates a powerful aphrodisiac, dubbed "Spanish Fly," which is accidentally added to the wine.

The resulting wine has unexpected and chaotic effects on those who consume it, leading to a series of farcical situations involving romance, infidelity, and mistaken identities. The film is characterized by its slapstick humor, double entendres, and stereotypical portrayals of various nationalities.

Spanish Fly was produced by EMI Films and is considered a minor example of the sex comedy genre popular in British cinema during the 1970s. While not critically acclaimed, the film has gained a cult following over the years due to its comedic performances and lighthearted approach to potentially controversial themes. It features a soundtrack composed by John Cameron.
