Take a Girl Like You is a 1970 British romantic comedy drama film directed by Jonathan Miller and starring Hayley Mills, Oliver Reed and Noel Harrison.

She quickly meets Patrick, who knows another girl at the lodging house but shares the goal, along with his friend Julian, of having sex with as many women as possible.

In April 1961, Roy Ward Baker announced he would make a film of the novel after he finished Flame in the Streets (1961) but the project did not happen.

[11] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Neither Jonathan Miller's direction nor George Melly's script, both equally flaccid, suggest that Kingsley Amis' novel is now anything but a complete anachronism.

Its cosy provincial setting, its simple division of the world into virgins and Lotharios, its belief in the irresistible humour of local politics combine to create a quaint insularity that one associates with the Ian Carmichael–Boulting Brothers films of the Fifties, when doubtless Peter Sellers would have played the randy and muddle-headed Labour councillor, here acted with frantic uncertainty by John Bird.

In the hands of Jonathan Miller the film gradually falls apart: jokes are mistimed, performances allowed to run out of steam, dialogue hurriedly postsynchronised (and so muffled that the early scenes sound as if they were recorded in an aquarium).

"[12] Filmink argued "For all its swinging trappings, at its heart this is a Rock Hudson-Doris Day-Tony Randall comedy with Oliver Reed as Rock, Hayley as Doris and Noel Harrison as Randall" adding "Mills claims the producer wanted a sexy comedy while Miller wanted a satire, which may explain why the end result was a mess.
