Morgan A Suitable Case for Treatment a.k.a. Morgan is a 1966 comedy film made by the British Lion Films Corporation. It was directed by Karel Reisz and produced by Leon Clore from a screenplay by David Mercer, based on his BBC television play A Suitable Case for Treatment 1962, the leading role at that time being played by Ian Hendry.

Morgan Delt David Warner is a failed artist and son of communist parents who own a fish and chips shop in downmarket London. His upperclass wife, Leonie Vanessa Redgrave, has given up on him and has just secured a divorce in order to marry Charles Napier Robert Stephens, an art gallery owner of her own social standing. Given the innately rich and personal world of fantasy Morgan has locked himself into, he goes off the deep end. He performs a series of bizarre stunts in a campaign to win back Leonie, including putting a skeleton in Leonies bed, blowing up her bed as Leonies mother is on it, and crashing her wedding dressed as a gorilla, for which scene Reisz borrows clips from the original King Kong film to illustrate Morgans fantasy world.Still failing to win her back, Morgan now secures the help of his mothers wrestler friend Wally The Gorilla Arthur Mullard to kidnap Leonie, who still nurtures residual feelings of love tinged with pity for Morgan. However, in the end, Morgan is arrested and committed to an insane asylum. Here, Leonie visits him looking visibly pregnant. With a wink, Leonie tells him he is the childs father. Morgans eyes and smile light up his sedated face with a malicious twinkle before he returns to tending a flowerbed as the camera pulls out to a longshot of the entire circular flowerbed with the enclosed flowers arranged into a hammer and sickle. ........
