'''''What's New, Pussycat?''''' is a 1965 comedy film directed by Clive Donner and starring [[Peter Sellers]], [[Peter O
Notorious womanizer Michael James (O'Toole) wants to be faithful to his fiancée, Carole Werner (Schneider), but every woman he meets seems to fall in love with him, including a neurotic American (Prentiss) and a parachutist (Andress) who accidentally lands in his car. His psychoanalyst, Dr Fassbender (Sellers), cannot help, either, since he's stalking one of his patients (Capucine) who in turn longs for Michael. A [[Hilarity Ensues|catastrophe appears on the horizon]] when all the characters check into a quaint hideaway hotel in the French countryside for the weekend, unaware of one another's presence.

* [[Brawn Hilda]]: Such a woman is married to Viennese psychiatrist Peter Sellers. She tracks him down to a hotel in full Wagnerian dress to stop his philandering, and appears to be a Freudian nightmare to Woody Allen.
* [[Car Cushion]]: very soon after Peter O'Toole vows to give up womanizing for his impending marriage, skydiver Ursula Andress lands next to him in his open roadster.
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: The film opens with Peter Sellers, in a velvet suit and shoulder-length hair, arguing with his wife who accuses him of seeing another woman. She demands "Is she prettier than me?" He shouts "Is she ''prettier'' than you?! ...''I'm'' prettier than you!"
* [[Elevator Going Down]]: Capucine and Peter O'Toole's characters agree the proper setting is essential, then promptly make use of an elevator. In the throes of ecstasy he assures her it's perfectly safe, so long as the combined weight of the two people does not exceed 1400 pounds.
* [[Head
* [[Idiosyncratic Wipes]]
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: Dr. Fassbender's pursuit of his patient is portrayed as hilarious, even though he repeatedly tries to tear her clothes off, and presumably, to rape her.
* [[Sauna of Death]]: Woody Allen tries to do in friend/romantic rival Peter O'Toole by cranking up the heat in the steam room they're in. O'Toole thrives on the steam, and Allen nearly passes out (doesn't help that he's fully dressed, sportcoat, glasses and all).
