There's a Girl In My Soup was a 1970 comedy film starring Peter Sellers and a young Goldie Hawn. Seller's appears as Robert Danvers, a vain womanizing host of a cooking show. He meets Hawn's character, a no-nonsense hippie, and falls for her. Directed by Roy Boulting, Seller's catchphrase in this film is "My god, but you're lovely."
It was based on the stage comedy of the same same written by Terence Frisby, produced by Michael Codron, directed by Bob Chetwyn and starring Donald Sinden, Barbara Ferris and Jon Pertwee. It ran for six years in the West End, from 1966 to 1972, including three years at The Globe Theatre (now The Gielgud) breaking records to become London's longest-ever running comedy. This record was later broken by No Sex Please, We're British and then Run For Your Wife. Frisby's screenplay for the film won The Writer's Guild Of Great Britain Award for Best Screenplay in 1970.
