Cat Girl (DVD, Region B)
Updating Val Lewton's classicĀ Cat People, this supernatural chiller stars scream queen Barbara Shelley as Leonora, a beautiful girl obsessed by the idea that she is heir to an ancestral curse causing her to develop the ferocious, predatory instincts of a leopard. Directed byĀ Upstairs, Downstairs' Alfred Shaughnessy and an early showcase for Shelley's smouldering talent,Ā Cat GirlĀ is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
As much a drama of human relationships and mental conflict as supernatural horror,Ā Cat GirlĀ tells the story of the battle for Leonora's sanity by her psychiatrist, Dr Brian Marlowe, with whom ā prior to his present marriage ā she was in love. Convinced that Leonora's condition is merely a manifestation of anger and jealousy toward her unfaithful husband, he urges her to enter a sanitarium; but can Leonora hope to escape the curse that has afflicted generations of her family?
