The Fat Spy

A 1966 American Z-movie comedy directed by Joseph Cates, starring Phyllis Diller, Jack E. Leonard, Brian Donlevy, and Jayne Mansfield. On a nearly-deserted island off the coast of Florida rumored to hold the Fountain of Youth, a boatload of teenagers arrives for a scavenger hunt. The island's wealthy owner (Donlevy) dispatches his daughter Junior (Mansfield) to remove them, while rotund botanist Irving (Leonard) is sent to spy on the teenagers. Irving's twin brother Herman (also Leonard) and the scheming Camille Salamander (Diller) have their own plans to find the fountain first. The film parodies teenage beach party films rather than spy films, and is featured in the 2004 documentary The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made. Released to the public domain in the 1990s, it has since been widely distributed on DVD and VHS.
