Movie Reviews of What's New Pussycat
Movie Review: What's new Pussycat
Summary: 5 Stars
Typical of the comedies of the time, the movie centers in two characters and a whole of insane situations that ocurr as they get engaged to marry each other. O'toole's character is the editor of a fashion magazine who has a hard time of giving up his carefree life for one of committment, (that much hasn't changed with new films). He seeks help with a psychoanalyst (Peter Sellers) who specializes in the subject. From there the movie takes flight with some not so unexpected twists resulting in a go-cart police chase through the French countryside. Growing up with it, this movie is one of my favorite comedies. Peter O'toole and Peter Sellers do some extremely funny work in this 60's era movie. The suporting cast includes the introduction of a very funny Woody Allen as well as some notable performances by Romy Schneider, Paula Prentiss and some good 'ol eye candy in Ursula Andress. The dialogue is well written and the balance between physical and situational comedy make this movie a very enjoyable experience, specially for those who grew up in the sixties. Burt Bacarah's music sang by Tom Jones is very nostalgic and reminds me of a time when the depiction of situations still showed certain naiveté and, to a certain extent, wholesomeness. Not to say that the subject matter of the movie, (sex), is what you want your kids to see, but this movie takes the content lightly and the humor is not as crude as today's films by a long shot. Is too bad that the makers of the film couldn't capitulate on the craftiness shown here whenever they made their next film (Casino Royale) which was, to say the least, an awfull comedy and a waist of some great talent.
Summary of What's New Pussycat
It's tough being the cat's meow! A "zany blend of slapstick gags and madcap comedy" (Cue), this "hilarious" (Motion Picture Herald) romp, starring Peter Sellers, Peter O'Toole and WoodyAllen in his acting and screenwriting debut, is the "wildest, wackiest" (Boxoffice) film to emerge from the swingin' '60s. Burt Bacharach's Oscar(r)-nominated* title song only adds tothe infectious appeal! Michael (O'toole) has a problem: he's a mademoiselle magnet! His demented psychiatrist (Sellers) and sex-starved friend (Allen) would kill for this problem, but his would-be fiancée (Romy Schneider) might just kill him. Undergoing therapy that would put Freud in a straitjacket, Michael tries to reform, but it won't be easy with sex kittens like Capucine, Paula Prentiss and Ursula Andress on his tail! *1965: Song (with Hal David)Similar DVD Movies
