Whatever Happened to Harold Smith? is a film written by Ben Steiner, directed by Peter Hewitt and released in 1999. The British film was filmed in Doncaster.
The film is a love story set in the 1970s, showing Vince Smith's efforts to date his office colleague Joanna Robinson.

This happens against a backdrop of Vince's father Harold becoming a minor celebrity due to his psychic powers, essentially forms of mind reading and telekinesis.
