The Statue (1971)

Description

Alex Bolt (David Niven, THE PINK PANTHER, Academy Award® winner SEPARATE TABLES) has just been awarded the Nobel Prize for creating a new international language, "Unispeak". In London, Alex's wife Rhonda (Virna Lisa, ASSAULT ON A QUEEN, CASANOVA 70) is sculpting a statue of Alex which has been commishioned by the government. Rhonda will not allow anyone to see her statue until the official unveiling... not even the U.S. Ambassador (Robert Vaughn, TV's MAN FROM UNCLE, Academy Award® nominee for YOUNG PHILADELPHIANS). When Alex views the 18-foot nude statue of himself, he is shocked to discover that, while the face is his, there are certainly more personal parts of him that are not! Endowment is definitely quite bigger in the eye of this beholder, and Alex questions who his wife modeled that part of her statue after. Alex is determined to find out who his wife used as the model for her statue, so he teams up with a friend (John Cleese, TV's MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS, FAWLTY TOWERS) to help him find the unexposed truth. It's a wild 70's comedy romp that's bigger than most!
