English Summary:
What's Up, Tiger Lily? is a 1966 American comedy film directed by Woody Allen in his feature-length directorial debut.
Allen took a Japanese spy film, International Secret Police: Key of Keys, and overdubbed it with completely original dialogue that had nothing to do with the plot of the original film. By putting in new scenes and rearranging the order of existing scenes, he completely changed the tone of the film from a James Bond clone into a comedy about the search for the world's best egg salad recipe.
During post-production, Allen's original one-hour television version was expanded without his permission to include additional scenes from International Secret Police: A Barrel of Gunpowder, the third film in the International Secret Police series, and musical numbers by the band The Lovin' Spoonful. The band released a soundtrack album. Louise Lasser, who was married to Allen at the time, served as one of the voice actors for the "new" dialogue soundtrack, as did Mickey Rose, Allen's writing partner on Take the Money and Run (1969) and Bananas (1971). In 2003, Image released the film on DVD, with both the theatrical and television (called "alternate") soundtracks.
Hungarian Summary:
A Mi újság, Tiger Lily? (eredeti cím: What's Up, Tiger Lily?) 1966-os amerikai filmvígjáték, amelyet Woody Allen rendezett nagyjátékfilmes rendezői debütálásában. A film 1966. november 2-án jelent meg.
Allen egy japán kémfilmet, a International Secret Police: Key of Keys jeleneteinek beillesztésével és a meglévő filmrészletek sorrendjének átrendezésével teljesen megváltoztatta a film hangvételét, így a James Bond-másolatból egy vígjáték lett, amely a világ legjobb tojássaláta-receptjének kereséséről szólt.[1] 2003-ban az Image kiadta a filmet DVD-n, mind a mozis, mind a televíziós (úgynevezett "alternatív") hangsávval.
A cselekmény a látványos gegek, szóviccek, ázsiai sztereotípiákon alapuló viccek és általános bohózatok sorozata számára nyújt alapot. A központi cselekmény Phil Moskowitz titkosügynök kalandjait meséli el, akit Rashpur ("egy nem létező, de valóságosnak tűnő ország") nagyhatalmú főmacsója bérel fel, hogy visszaszerezzen egy tőle ellopott titkos tojássaláta-receptet. A receptet, amely a gengszter Shepherd Wong birtokában van, a rivális gengszter Wing Fat is keresi, és Moskowitz két Rashpur-i ügynöknő segítségével ideiglenesen összeáll Wing Fattel, hogy ellopják a receptet Wongtól.
A filmnek van egy, a cselekményhez nem kapcsolódó befejező stáblista jelenete, amelyben China Lee, a Playboy Playmate és Allen komikusbálványának, Mort Sahlnak akkori felesége, aki a filmben máshol nem szerepel, sztriptízel, miközben Allen (aki szintén a filmben szerepel) elmagyarázza, hogy megfogadta, valahol szerepelni fog a filmben.
