The Cat

Believe it or not this outdoor adventure recalling 'The Window' was shot on the same ranch owned by Hal Roach just outside L. A. on which Laurel & Hardy shot 'Towed in a Hole' over thirty years earlier.

Centring upon a little boy and with a twee score by Stan Worth it's actually rather rugged with the young hero brandishing a toy rifle that when he finally uses it turns out to be a water pistol.

The most interesting credit apart from button-eyed Peggy Anne Garner as the boy's mommy is that for the 'nature photography' by Oscar-winning cameraman Vilmos Zsigmond back in the days when he answered to the name of 'William'.

The movie has outstanding scenery and a wonderful message about a boys relationship with a big cat. It was great to have Peggy Ann Garner back on the screen as an adult actress, after such a long absence. The character that Miss garner played was named Susan, not Martha.
