Trivia: AGENT FOR H.A.R.M. was originally filmed as a TV-pilot, but instead was released theatrically. By the way, H.A.R.M. stands for the Human Aetiological Relations Machine! After viewing this film, you may agree that the only thing vaguely interesting about this confusing yawner of a movie is that secretary's very long thumb!
