"Ludicrous and offensive semi-remake of the utterly charming Leslie Howard vehicle BERKELEY SQUARE (1933), with none of the earlier film's tasteful panache. This time round we have a "modern" take on the story, filled with distateful shots of a man in swimming trunks being tormented by "visions" of a supposed "earlier incarnation." Why anyone would be at all interested in watching this so-called "supernatural" mumbo-jumbo is beyond me, although these things apparently connect with the "young crowd" of cinema-goers, who would probably run a mile from a Leslie Howard film, just because of its lack of nudity and violence. As a sign of the times, there was actually a sexually explicit poster designed, highlighting a lady's nipples, which had nothing to do with the film, but which got the "free love" generation swarming to the cinema in the hope of seeing some pornography. The irony is that the only explicit pornography in the film is the lengthy shot of the man "swimming" in a pool, his tight "swimming trunks" clinging to his beautifully-formed buttocks in a most delightful manner. And sometimes he doesn't even seem to be wearing anything at all."
(Lezzie Dawson-Creek Halibut - "Nickelodeon: In For a Penny" - Trouser Press Books, 1976)

[EDIT: Actually the way the question goes is:"Pete and Repeat sat on a fence. Pete fell off. Who was left?"]

"...there was actually a sexually explicit poster designed, highlighting a lady's nipples, which had nothing to do with the film…"
Well, YEAH!
I've seen this film numerous times, and that poster had NOTHING to do with it!
Chickenhearted…I'm beginning to think you have a dark side…

Since actors with bodies like Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman were few and far between back then, they hired a professional male model (Tony Stefano) to provide the nudeness.
