Leon (Mark Frandel) suffers an identity crisis when he finds out he is not the Jewish son of a curtain net king, but rather the offspring of a Yorkshire pig farmer (Brian Glover). A more welcome complication develops as he divides his romantic attentions between two women - the girl-next-door played by Gina Bellman or the gorgeous Madeleine (Maryam D'Abo). A surprise commercial success, this British comedy was filmed on a profit sharing basis, with the crew working for nothing during the film's production, but receiving a percentage of any box office returns after it was released.
