She'll Follow You Anywhere
She’ll Follow You Anywhere, released in the United States as Passion Potion, is a 1971 British comedy directed by David C. Rea. It stars Kenneth Cope, Keith Barron, and Richard Vernon.
Two chemists in a big company’s lab accidentally create a love potion while trying to make a new aftershave. On their way home from work, Mike Carter is flirted with on a train, and his colleague Alan Simpson has a similar encounter with a woman at their office. They realize the potion makes them irresistible to women and begin testing it around London.
To keep their discovery secret from their wives and their boss, Andrew Coombes, they use an old army hut in Effingham for secret trials, bringing home women they meet on the train. When they start to run out of the potion, they try to recreate it using the original recipe. They discover a missing, contaminated chemical was the key, but all the old samples have been destroyed. They scramble to find the ingredient while their wives grow more suspicious and their boss demands results.
The boss learns about the potion’s power and experiences it through his secretary. When their wives come to London for a surprise shopping trip, the two men finally confess to their boss and explain their Effingham experiments. They go to Effingham again, only to find the army demolishing the huts and the remaining potion is destroyed by accident. The boss threatens to fire them and reveal everything unless they can recreate the formula.
Reception was mixed. The Monthly Film Bulletin called it crude and weakly developed, with some tasteless scenes. Kine Weekly saw potential in the idea of a “perfume of instant sex” but said the humor wears thin, praising the performances of Barron, Cope, and Vernon.
Release details: UK release date 19 March 1972, runtime 96 minutes. The film was produced by Glendale Film Productions and distributed by Scotia-Barber Distributors Limited.
