Woody Allen's What's Up Tiger Lily? DVD Brand New & Sealed

Condition: New

In 1966 Woody Allen took a 1964 Japanese spy film, added a soundtrack of his own, with new voices and new dialogue for all the characters, and the result was 'What's Up Tiger Lily?' The story concerns Phil Moscowitz, his fight against the international supervillain Shepherd Wong, and his search for the perfect egg salad recipe. The voices include Allen's own, along with Louise Lasser, Frank Buxton and Mickey Rose.

What better way for writer-star Woody Allen to cash in on the success of What's New Pussycat? than to write a quickie exploitation comedy that makes fun of quickie exploitation films? In What's Up Tiger Lily? his actors dub new dialogue onto a ridiculous Japanese spy extravaganza. Allen's exquisite sense of the absurd is in fine form as espionage professionals pursue a top-secret recipe for egg salad. At one point during the planning of a break-in, a spy unfolds a map of their quarry's residence, explaining that the man "lives here". "He lives on that small piece of paper?" questions one of the henchmen. It's that silly. But it's often uproarious. Louise Lasser, Allen's former wife is among the voice actors.
