02/23/2004 Entry: "The Ginger Mayerson Fifty Films, 14/50 - What's New Pussycat?"
I must be on a Peter O'Toole jag.
What's New, Pussycat? There are films where women laugh with men and there are films where women laugh at men. This is in the latter category. What's New, Pussycat?, starring Peter Sellers in a "That Girl" wig, so you can just imagine what the rest of the film is like. Peter O'Toole, cameo by Richard Burton, oh my God, why can't they just be together? Why? Woody Allen when he was still funny. And a bunch of 60s women whose names I really can't remember. Romy something, Paula something, Ursula something. Capucine is in this one. She fascinates me; I can't think of another gorgeous 60s woman who gets more mauled in these nutty 60s comedies and still looks great. Not even the legendary Margaret Dumont holds a candle to Capucine in this, the Panther films and who knows what else. (Note: I CANNOT believe this is NOT on DVD yet, but the VHS is above, if it's ever in stock again. Geeze.)
Our webhost, is a really good deal and is probably having a huge sale on something as we speak. If you're looking for webhosting, I recommend them very much.
