Woody Allen's first movie! In comic Woody Allen's film debut, he took the Japanese action film "International Secret Police: Key of Keys" and re-dubbed it, changing the plot to make it revolve around a secret egg salad recipe.
Released on 1966
Directed by: Woody Allen, Senkichi Taniguchi
Starring: Woody Allen, Mie Hama, Tatsuya Mihashi, Akiko Wakabayashi
My beatnik parents in Ohio loved this in the '60s, particularly my mother. I was pretty much forced to stay out of school to watch this on TV. She wrote me a great note saying this was far better for my education than their school. I later became NYC's best dominatrix of the 1980s. And I married two Jews to learn the egg salad secret. It had to be done. I had no choice. The Mormon Tabernacle choir put me up to it. Oh, I faked being a Jew. I fooled them. That was good.

@snarkus63 No doubt they wanted to bring in that "youth crowd" to the drive-in which was an AIP standard at the time.

Putting the Lovin' Spoonful in this wasn't Allen's idea...in fact,he fought against it.It was the brass at American-International who wanted pop music.
