| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about What's Up, Tiger Lily? |
|---|
A whacky spy-spoof!!! Woody Allen buys a Japanese Spy Flick and replaces the dialouge with that of his own!!! Crazy, vague plot of spies and thugs attempting to get possession of a recipe for the world's greatest egg salad. Yes... EGG SALAD!! Outrageous dialogue featuring Woody Allen, Loiuse Lasser and others. Great 60's music soundtrack by the Lovin' Spoonful.
--Herbert Spelling, Resident Scholar

Woody Allen bought the rights to an existing Japaneese film and re-dubbed it. It now makes absolutely no sense at all. Even the plot is incoherent (Something about the top-secret plans for something related to coffee). It won't matter much, though, as the dubbed diolouge is hilarious and some scene breaks with little skits involving Allen himself! A delight!
