Percy's Progress (1974)
Director: Ralph Thomas
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
One would have thought that Percy had pretty well worn out the already thin gag about the man who has a nine-inch penis transplant. But no, we are regaled with a second episode in which, with Lawson taking over the lead from Hywel Bennett, Percy is left (temporarily) the sole sexually active organ on the planet. British sex comedies are nothing if not prurient, and Percy (the name is now the hero's) isn't allowed so much as a bulge in his trousers. Incredibly, someone has blackmailed all sorts of big names into appearing in cameo parts.Author: VG
