Whats Up, Tiger Lily (DVD, 2003)

Über dieses Produkt

Product Information

WHAT'S UP, TIGER LILY?, Woody Allen's first directorial effort, started life as a low-grade Japanese James Bondian spy drama called KEY OF KEYS. Executive producer Henry G. Saperstein bought the film and hired Allen to dub in an entirely new soundtrack, featuring brand-new dialogue (cowritten by the new voices) that turns the story into a riotously ridiculous search for the perfect egg salad recipe; Saperstein also added scenes with the Lovin' Spoonful to give the film a hip 1960s feel wholly out of touch with what is occurring onscreen. Allen did shoot some new scenes for the film, in which he describes the genesis of the idea and its place in film history, claiming that the first film to do this was GONE WITH THE WIND. The new story features the Japanese cast playing such characters as Phil Moskowitz, Terry Yaki, and Suki Yaki, battling to find out just the right amount of mayonnaise to mix in with chopped eggs. Many of the jokes are about food and sex, two things that Allen would go on to explore more and more in his films.

Who knew egg salad could be so funny?
What's not to like? Obscure Japanese James Bond-type spy thriller gets turned into a ridiculous search for an egg salad recipe thanks to Woody Allen and crew (including Len Maxwell, Frank Buxton, Louise Lasser, etc.). Plus a score and a couple of appearances by the legendary Lovin' Spoonful. PLUS... TWO soundtracks! (Theatrical AND television.) And if THAT isn't enough - and indeed, how could it be? - a hidden easter egg in the DVD's start menu (Hint: Keep hitting the choices until Woody's glasses turn red.) Yep, way before Mystery Science Theater 3000 and the L.A. Connection's Mad Movies, Woody showed us how it was done. Sure, later on, we had Radio Days, Zelig, Hannah and her Sisters, et. al., but THIS is where the screen comedy legend of Woody Allen REALLY starts!

Lost movie
I loved this movie when I saw it years ago. Now I can watch it and laugh again, this time with the non television dialogue. Highly recommend this one especially, if you enjoy Mike Myers's stuff.

Woody Allen's film is a classic
This is one of my favorite Woody Allen films. It is truly a classic. Had to watch it several times because there were so many funny lines--I kept missing them because I was laughing too loud!

Kind of boring
Not as good as I would have hoped, it’s drawn out at times... but I did laugh out loud several times, so it’s worth watching once.

pure non-PC humor. Fun to watch over and over
A true classic. One of a kind. Rare . Woody's early days for pure comedy and enjoyment was at its peak in mid 60's.
