Mary Had a Little... is a 1961 British comedy film directed by Edward Buzzell and starring Agnès Laurent, Hazel Court and Jack Watling.[2] It takes its title from the nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb", and is sometimes credited[by whom?] as Britain's first sex comedy.

The film is a sex comedy about a slick impresario who tries unsuccessfully to win a bet with a psychiatrist over the production of a perfect baby.[3]
