...carries over to the screen the grand hauteur she learned as a haute couture model, then plays her glacial poise for laughs. Not even the antics of Peter O'Toole and Woody Allen could persuade the Pussycat to purr, but fanciers, fatigued with Ursula Andress as an alley cat and Romy Schneider as a kitten, applauded Capucine's purebred Siamese and gave her a bigger share of laughs in a Sellers market. In Panther, she kept a straight face while she slammed the door on the nose of her cuckolded husband. When he asked how she could save...
That Darn Cat. Come December, Walt Disney can be relied upon to deliver a big, bright Christmasy gewgaw for the holiday trade. Sometimes it is a stray animal epic, sometimes a folksy romantic comedy, sometimes a wholesome teen-age adventure. This year it is all three, wrapped around the substantial screen presence of Hayley Mills, who goes gumshoeing on the trail of a criminal tomcat while her sister (Dorothy Provine) scrutinizes FBI Agent Dean Jones.

He concentrates so intently he probably wouldn't even notice if the stands collapsed. He steals balls and whips down court so fast the rest of the team has to lope to get into position for the famous shuffle offense. As the offense goes to work. Dressler seems to know exactly what the other four are doing; he spots openings, passes off, sets up scores...
...Ricans. Spoken in Spanish with English subtitles (plus a peppering of Anglo-Saxon vulgarisms), the film is mainly distinguished for acting untouched by the naive semiprofessionalism that blights many a small-budget movie. Topping the cast is Jaime Sánchez as Chico, a well-to-do but restless cat who sums up his birthright by stating his birthplace: "102nd and Lexington...
