Trivia
Richard Burton: Uncredited, as man in a strip club. Burton appears with Peter O'Toole in a scene in a bar where Burton asks O'Toole, "Don't you know me from someplace?" O'Toole responds: "Give my regards to what's her name." The dialogue is a reference to their appearance together in Becket (1964), and to Burton's wife at the time, Elizabeth Taylor.

Goofs
When the anarchist's bomb explodes, Carole does not react to it, although everybody else does.

Sloppy (if occasionally amusing) mess.

"What's New, Pussycat" marks the writing and acting debut of Woody Allen; as an actor, he clearly steals the show, and he has a couple of hilarious scenes. Peter O'Toole is agreeable in a somewhat self-parodying role, but Peter Sellers is really disappointing in this film, constantly overacting and earning very few laughs. Allen's screenplay has some witty lines but generally it's a complete and utter mess - in a way that gives the film an feeling of sloppiness. There are a few chuckles in this movie, but it's very dated, and as comedy it can best be described as highly uneven. And I didn't understand if the sets were intentionally so fake-looking.
