The Munsters: My Fair Munster (1964) (TV)

Synopsis [spoilers]: Marilyn is returning from a date with her new boyfriend. He walks her to the door and when Herman opens it he is scared at the sight of him and runs like crazy. They all begin to worry that she will never marry. Grandpa makes a love potion for her, which he mixes with her oatmeal porridge. She is late that day though, and goes out without eating her breakfast; Lily pours her plate's contents back into the pan, from which she subsequently serves Herman, Eddie and herself. As a result, they all become irresistible; the woman next door, which up to then was complaining about the Munsters and even building an eletric fence to protect her from them, falls instantly in love with Herman when she sees him. The postman falls in love withLily. All of Eddie's female classmates fall for him. A great chase takes place inside the house with Herman and Lily being chased by their respective smitten ones; Eddie is chased home by a bunch of girls. When the effect of the potion wears out both the postman and the neighbor run away in horror. Grandpa tells Marilyn that he will make another dose of the potion but she doesn't want him to, since she is getting along nicely with her new boyfriend, and furthermore, since she didn't drink the potion, this proves that he really loves her.

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
