What better way for writer-star Woody Allen to cash in on the success of What's New Pussycat? than to write a quickie exploitation comedy that makes fun of quickie exploitation films? In What's Up Tiger Lily? his actors dub new dialogue onto a ridiculous Japanese spy extravaganza. Allen's exquisite sense of the absurd is in fine form as espionage professionals pursue a top-secret recipe for egg salad. At one point during the planning of a break-in, a spy unfolds a map of their quarry's residence, explaining that the man "lives here". "He lives on that small piece of paper?" questions one of the henchmen. It's that silly. But it's often uproarious. Louise Lasser, Allen's former wife is among the voice actors. --Jim Emerson, Amazon.com

George Frideric Handel (1685 - 1759)David Daniels' Rinaldo is surely the equal of his illustrious 18th-century predecessors. His countertenor is one of the most accomplished voices I have heard...As Armida Noemi Nadelmann's voices started where her legs ended and she threw coloratura at us as though it was going out of fashion (astride her pet Hydra being a particularly fabulous show-stopper).David Walker as Goffredo is no vocal slouch either; his voice is brighter edged than Daniels' and almost as fluent.Harry Bicket led from the harpsichord and conjured his own miracles from the pit. He looked quite4 overwhelmed at the screams of approval that met everybody at curtain call. (Opera Now)
