...Silva's point was unarguable. Unionism is woven throughout the fabric of present American life, both social and economic. "The labor movement," says Chicago's Sidney Lens longtime labor leader and writer, "is really a carbon copy of capitalism." It is more than that: it is capitalism. Its relations with management remain adverse to a degree; but the action is that of cogwheels moving in opposite directions to operate the whole free-enterprise machine...
Pussycat, unlike its predecessors, contains symbols and images which are woven throughout the film. Many sequences are meant as parodies of classic scenes from other movies. The dream sequence from "8 1/2" where the hero is confronted by all his former women finds very fitting application here. The poolroom fight from Irma La Douce is transferred to a library where it unfortunately becomes less effective.

Residential and recreational areas will be woven together so closely that some Restonians will be able to chip onto a nearby green from their patio, others to watch their horses grazing a few steps away, still others cast off from their own bulkheads, motorboat across the lake, and moor a few feet away from their favorite store. Its houses will be built around dead-end streets, thus keeping children well away from hurtling through-traffic. Because no part of any village will be more than ten minutes away by foot, most travel will be confined to tree-lined walkways...
