The Man Who Had Power Over Women (1970)

Synopsis: This awful, cringe-inducing story about a public relations executive and his obnoxious pop star client was filmed at the fag end of the Swinging Sixties, and it has dated very badly. Although the film toys around with the moral issue of abortion, it never achieves more than a glossy vacuity, while screenwriters Allan Scott and Chris Bryant show little of the brilliance they exhibited three years later with their work on Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now.
