There’s a time in every studio executive’s life when he has to bow to the inevitable and greenlight a talking penis film, and Columbia boss David Puttnam was no exception. Griffin Dunne, the decomposing companion off of American Werewolf, is the hapless owner of the prolix glans, whi-hi-hich ge-he-hets him in a whole heap of trouble with the ladies! Adapted from a book – not the Wicked Willie stories as you might think, but a novel from the same bloke who wrote the book Jean-Luc Godard turned into respected classic Le Mepris. Which was presumably uppermost in Dave’s mind as he pressed that magic green button for this load of – in all senses – cobblers.

I remember Who Dares Wins did a sketch where Philip Pope had a SINGING willy. Not surprisingly, it wasn’t very good.
