What's New Pussycat?

What's New Pussycat? (1965) is a Franco-American screwball comedy you can watch online on iFILM. It marks Woody Allen's debut as a screenwriter — and he also plays a supporting role. Director Clive Donner cast Peter O'Toole, Peter Sellers, Romy Schneider, and Ursula Andress in a film shot almost entirely in Paris.

Michael is a compulsive womanizer desperate to stay faithful to the woman he loves. His psychiatrist, Dr. Fritz Fassbender, played by Peter Sellers, is no help — the good doctor is just as hopelessly tangled up in his own romantic disasters. Burt Bacharach wrote the title song, which became a chart hit before the film even opened.

Pure slapstick, no pretension. This is Allen before the Manhattan melancholia set in — loose, anarchic, and genuinely funny. Stream What's New Pussycat? (1965) online on iFILM.
