Percy (1971)
Director: Ralph Thomas
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Excruciating comedy in the Carry On mould, with Bennett as the hapless recipient of the world's first penis transplant. When it isn't leeringly dragging in nudge-nudge images (like the Post Office Tower) or dredging up every phallic gag known to schoolboy smut, the film laboriously records the bemused hero's attempts to come to terms with 'Percy' by tracing the donor (a notorious philanderer killed in the accident that caused his own dismemberment) and interviewing the female witnesses to its prowess.Author:
