What's Up, Tiger Lily?
He's not the world's greatest lover... but 8th place is not bad!
Directed by Woody Allen, Senkichi Taniguchi
Produced by Benedict Pictures Corp., American International Pictures
A gleefully absurdist spy-film parody that prioritizes comedic irreverence and surreal humor over coherence or emotional depth.
In comic Woody Allen's film debut, he took the Japanese action film "International Secret Police: Key of Keys" and re-dubbed it, changing the plot to make it revolve around a secret egg salad recipe.
