It's no surprise that legendary songwriter Burt Bacharach turned up in a cameo midway through Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, Mike Meyers' recent sleeper-hit spoof of all things '60s (be they good, bad or downright embarrassing). After all, Bacharach was responsible for a good portion of the era's more sophisticated musical underpinnings, not to mention the dizzy soundtracks to What's New, Pussycat? and this goofy, multinational, cinematic cocktail. Writer Neil Simon, Bicycle Thief director Vittorio de Sica and star Peter Sellers couldn't turn After the Fox into a hit in 1966, but Bacharach's spry, baroque score--and a dash of Meyers' enthusiastic, barely tongue-in-cheek admiration--easily qualify this as a '90s retro gem. The title-song teaming of the Hollies and Peter Sellers at his mock-Roman best is sweetly eccentric and flows nicely into Bacharach's swinging bossanovas. And yes, cocktail-lovers, harpsichords abound here. --Jerry McCulley
