The Fat Spy is a 1966 film, directed by Joseph Cates and written by Matthew Andrews. It is featured in the 2004 documentary, The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made.

Synopsis

A mostly-deserted island, which is widely perceived to be the home to the fountain of youth, is off the coast of Florida. The island gets some visitors in the form of teenagers, who head there for a scavenger hunt, which annoys the island's wealthy owner, Wellington (Brian Donlevy). He recruits his daughter, Junior (Jayne Mansfield), to remove the teenagers from the island. Junior is looking forward to going there to see her love interest (and the island's only resident), Irving (Jack E. Leonard). who is asked to spy on the rowdy teenagers. They get some visitors to the island when Herman (Irving's twin brother, who Jack E. Leonard also plays) and his love interest, Camille Salamander (Phyllis Diller), come with their own evil plots. Who will find the fountain of youth?

Criticism and goofs

The movie, which was shot in Cape Coral, Florida, was actually shot on a lake that substituted for a beach.
At the end of the movie, there were promises that up to three sequels would be made. They were not eventually made.
