The Day the Fish Came Out (1967)

Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by Michael Cacoyannis
My rating: BOMB
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

Dreadful comedy about two downed pilots, Tom Courtenay and Colin Blakely, who wander around a Greek island in their underwear. The military shows up to look for them, and more importantly a missing atom bomb, under cover of gay tourists. They strut around in loud, tight swimsuits, doing nothing, going nowhere. Candice Bergen is an artist whose only purpose is to provide a metal-eating chemical and wear thigh-high white leather boots. Teenagers dance in unison to crazy music. The locals look lost. Baffling, boring, with a non-ending; at least the cast got a free Greek vacation.
