Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRichard Burton: Uncredited, as man in a strip club. Burton appears with Peter O'Toole in a scene in a bar where Burton asks O'Toole, "Don't you know me from someplace?" O'Toole responds: "Give my regards to what's her name." The dialogue is a reference to their appearance together in Becket (1964), and to Burton's wife at the time, Elizabeth Taylor.
- GoofsWhen the anarchist's bomb explodes, Carole does not react to it, although everybody else does.
- Quotes
Michael James: Did you find a job?
Victor Skakapopulis: Yeah, I got something at the striptease. I help the girls dress and undress.
Michael James: Nice job.
Victor Skakapopulis: Twenty francs a week.
Michael James: Not very much.
Victor Skakapopulis: It's all I can afford.
- Crazy creditsThe opening/closing titles feature a host of Cupid cherubs in cat masks performing various gags.

The movie reminds a lot "Casino Royale" - it was made in the 60s, has a great cast (Peter Sellers, Peter O'Toole, Romy Schneider, Capucine, Paula Prentiss, Woody Allen, Ursula Andress), strikingly beautiful women and the song by Burt Bacharach. It takes place in Paris - and it is almost as much mess as "Casino... " is - silly, naive, and often simply ridiculous but somehow it works after all these years. One of the reasons I believe is Allen's script, the dialogs and one-liners that are hilarious. This time, Allen received more screen time that in Casino.... and he made his scenes very funny. "What's New Pussycat?" is not a great movie but it is charming and I like it.
