Dir: Woody Allen, Senkichi Taniguchi
1966
***
What's Up, Tiger Lily? is a great idea and pretty ahead of its time. It does start a bit slow and the original film looks as if it was probably a bit of a farce anyway, so spoofing it wasn't as clever as all that after all. It is Allen's injection of signature comedy that really works, it's mildly amusing throughout with a couple of real laugh out loud moments. It's these laugh out loud moments that make up for the quieter scenes and makes it well worth a watch. The voice over's are consistently brilliant.
