Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

rodrig58 Good things: There are a lot of big names in the movie! Bad things: the whole story is a bad joke! Good: Paula Prentiss is cool, although she repeats herself infinitely. Bad: Peter Sellers, the greatest comic of all time, is not at all comic in this movie, he is even ridiculous and stupid. Good: a very young Woody Allen(also author of the script) is much more comic than Peter Sellers! Bad: Capucine, though she has some charm, is also ridiculous and frustrating and repeats herself, infinitely. Good: Romy Schneider and Ursula Andress are very natural and credible, unfortunately judging objectively and coldly, their roles are also ridiculous and embarrassing! Peter O'Toole is the only one who does his best to be a loving presence and succeeds almost completely, though his role is ridiculous and awkward too! The way that this childish farce is filmed is very effective and ingenious, work of Jean Badal. Sabine Sun, blonde and mute, makes a cool role as a nurse. Like a joke in the joke, Richard Burton has a few seconds, friendly, pleasant appearance. Burt Bacharach's music is not great, and the song with the same title by Tom Jones does not save the movie. To be watched only for the personal charm of those so many great actors.

Ru Sil I wouldn't have guessed that Peter O'Toole has such a talent for comedy. Under a messy appearance, the movie, which is one of my favorites, has a clever and funny script. It's one of the best comments on marriage and monogamy, and it benefits from talented actors who, above all, seem to be having fun in their roles. Their enjoyment is transmitted to the viewers, and so it is a genuinely "feel-good" movie. Part sophisticated comedy, part slapstick, "What's New Pussycat" is a wild experience only for those with a strong sense of humor. It never fails to put me in a good mood. The soundtrack is fabulous! Peter O'Toole in his gorgeous forest green jacket is unforgettable.

CinefanR Hilarious, charming and over the top.Written as an ironic commentary on marriage and monogamy, "What's New Pussycat" makes fun of all the clichés and absurdities that men and women say and do to each other in a romantic context. It's all there: misconceptions about marriage, clichés about what a man or woman is supposed/expected to do in certain situations, the absurdity of people's expectations in regard to their partner and so on. The script is really clever and it does succeed to make some valid points on these issues. What's interesting is how it switches from sophisticated comedy to slapstick and vice versa. The soundtrack is absolutely fantastic, by Burt Bacharach, Dionne Warwick and Tom Jones (why is this out of print?)– I actually envy people living in that era. All the actors seem to really enjoy themselves and have tremendous fun with their parts. Shakespearean actor Peter O'Toole makes an unexpected shift and it's a rare delight to watch and listen to him in such a different role. I had no idea he could be so funny.You're in for some great one-liners and priceless reactions from Peter O'Toole, a funny cameo from Richard Burton, drunken serenades, a crazy dream sequence, hysterical psychotherapy sessions where patients recall their sexual history and much more.If you don't have the sense of humor to appreciate this movie, at least you must have the sense of fashion to appreciate Peter O'Toole in that fabulous forest-green jacket. That alone makes it worth watching.

Petri Pelkonen Michael James (Peter O'Toole) loves the ladies.The problem is his fiancée Carole Werner (Romy Schneider) and the difficulty of staying faithful.But cheating is too easy when there are dozens of women around you all the time.So he tries to seek help from this shrink, Dr.Fritz Fassbender (Peter Sellers) who's a little eccentric.You can't get too much help from Dr.Fassbender since he's busy stalking his patient Renée Lefebvre (Capucine).Eventually Renée falls for Michael.And there's also this little man called Victor Shakapopulis (Woody Allen) who's in his dream job.He's the un-dresser for strippers.Poor Victor! What's New Pussycat (1965) was Woody Allen's debut in the movie world.He's behind the screenplay.He could do it then and he can do it now.Great writing and acting that's so typical to Woody.It was directed by Clive Donner and partially by Richard Talmadge.The legendary title song was made by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.It's sung by the one and only Tom Jones.Peter O'Toole is fantastic in the lead.It was hilarious to see him as a schoolboy in the flashback sequence.Peter Sellers is hilarious as always.This time with an accent.Richard Burton appears as Man in Strip Club.And let's not forget all those lovely ladies.I mean, Romy Schneider and Capucine, with Paula Prentiss (Liz) and Ursula Andress (Rita).I found a VHS version of this movie yesterday so I decided to buy it for 1 euro.The movie is highly sexual and therefore not for kiddies.It has got a lot of horny men and busty women.In other words all the things a good movie needs.
