An "eroto-biography" with soft-core sex scenes placed throughout, Newley's Fellini-esque "Heironymous Merkin" has been available on DVD for some time. Wonderful score in the Newley/Bricusse vein, it also stars George Jessel, Victor Spinetti, 1969 Playboy Playmate of the Year Connie Kreski and Newley's own children as Merkin's kids.

One of my favorite movies.

Tried to find it but so far no luck

Collins has been quoted as saying doing this movie started the downfall of her marriage to Newley.To his credit, newley once said of her she would sell her own bowel movements for money if she could. A match made in heaven
