What's New, Pussycat
Paris fashion magazine editor Michael James is involved in a relationship with Carole Werner, but the beautiful women he encounters in his work continually distract him. He consults psychiatrist Fritz Fassbender about his problem, but the doctor's own unfulfilled desires are compounded when he hears of Michael's conquests. Fassbender's overpowering wife, Anna, intends to keep him from extramarital lapses, however. Michael's friend Victor, who is also attracted to Carole, is concerned because he can't attract women, even though he is an "undresser" at a striptease club. When Carole learns that her parents are about to arrive for a visit, she tells Michael that they will either have to get married or break off the romance. Determined to have a final fling, Michael visits Victor at the club and falls for Liz, a beautiful stripper given to casual suicide attempts, but she is only interested in reading her poetry to him. Meanwhile, through Fassbender, Michael becomes involved with Renée, whose cold exterior conceals her passionate disposition. At the same time, Carole attempts to make Michael jealous by captivating Victor. Furthermore, Michael tries to entangle Renée with the adoring Fassbender in order to get rid of her. Michael then begins a third involvement with a mad parachutist, Rita. Declaring a temporary truce, Michael and Carole spend an enjoyable evening with Carole's parents, and he decides at last to marry and settle down. In a discreet country hotel, however, everyone takes part in a climactic chase in and out of the bedrooms before the marriage question is affirmatively ...
