Adventure | Comedy | Thriller | USA/Japan | English | Colour | 80min In Woody Allen’s directorial debut, he took the Japanese action film Kokusai himitsu keisatsu: Kagi no kagi (1965) and re-dubbed it, changing the plot to make it revolve around a secret egg salad recipe. So you want Plot? Woody Allen bought the rights to a legit Japanese spy movie, removed the voice track, and replaced it with one of his own. He doesn’t seem to have bothered with the original script at all. Typical Joke: “Back off! My secret spy camera has taken pictures of you all through your clothes. Unless you release me, your naked photos will be sold in every school yard in Tokyo within the hour. Unless you are totally comfortable with your body, you must release me.“ Very funny at times.. also strange and bizarre.
