Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
An appealing, free-floating lunacy fuels What's New Pussycat?, and there's enough of it bubbling around to carry the movie past its many defects. The cast is like a collection of terribly attractive people stumbling over each other at a disorganized cocktail party--they aren't always witty, and some of them are drunk, but there's enough going on to keep you distracted. Peter O'Toole plays a swinging London womanizer seeking help for his addiction, who makes the mistake of consulting one Dr. Fritz Fassbender (Peter Sellers), a demented psychoanalyst. Woody Allen made his movie debut here and wrote the script (much altered, to Allen's chagrin, in the filmmaking process). This movie and Casino Royale--which also features Sellers, Allen, Ursula Andress, and a Burt Bacharach song--are overstuffed '60s artifacts, brimming with mod chaos. Alas, neither film is as funny as it should be. --Robert Horton
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - This definitely was not a 'funny' movie
And by funny I mean funny 'ha ha'. It had a funny beginning, but that was it. Very disappointed in buying this one, I thought that since Peter Sellers and Woody Allen was in it, it would be funny, but it wasn't. No funny lines, or any creative situations. Pretty bland movie. I'll have to stick to movies by Blake Edwards instead.
Rating:  - silly, ridiculous, but fun
This was a good drive-in movie flick back in the mid 60's. Not to be taken seriously, just enjoy the slapstick. Paula Prentiss makes the movie worth watching.
Rating:  - Very happy
The movie is an old favorite, so I knew what to expect. The copy I received was in new condition, and arrived promptly, and was at a very fair price. I am very happy.
Rating: - What's New Pussycat, What's new?
I love Woody Allen. While I am currently in my mid-20s, I often say I grew up on Woody Allen films, often renting old ones on VHS and always seeing new ones in the theaters. However, the bottom line is that I was not particularly happy with this one.
This is Woody's film debut and he is not the director, however he is the writer and there is no doubt of that as this movie feels like a something only the mind of Woody Allen can conjure up. In this sense, Woody Allen fans should enjoy ... Read More
Rating:  - Ridiculous. Ridiculous and Enchanting.
This film is RI-DICULOUS and yes, doesn't contain much substance and goes off the deep end at the end and is impossibly silly. BUT... I really love it. I'm a devoted fan of Romy Schneider and quite like Peter O'Toole. And I had heard of some of the other actors but while watching this movie, was introduced to a slew of '60s actors, all handsome and all talented.
When I first saw this movie, I was very disappointed. I thought it was interminable and only marginally funny. But since some ... Read More
