What's New Pussycat? (1965 Film)
Burt Bacharach put aside the drama of his work with Dionne Warwick for a romp through the sex farce that made Woody Allen a hit screenwriter. The giddy playfulness and tongue-in-cheek sensuality of the music is put aside only once, for Warwick's "Here I Am." Other songs, of course, include Tom Jones's title tune and Manfred Mann's read of "My Little Red Book," which inspired Love's hit version the next year. One caveat: even with two versions of "Book," the total audio playing time is just under half an hour. Still, this is a rich period piece.--Rickey Wright
