What’s New Pussycat? (1965)

Playboy Peter O’Toole finds it difficult to be faithful to his girlfriend Romy Schneider so seeks the help from psychoanalyst Peter Sellers. There’s very little to recommend this film. It’s not very funny and Peter Sellers inexplicably wears an atrocious wig throughout. There’s a madcap final act at a small country hotel that finally gives the film a bit of a lift, but it’s not worth sitting through the rest of the slog to get there. At least there’s Tom Jones.
