If cats could talk, they wouldn’t. – Nan Porter

I’ve vowed to get back to watching a movie a day again after a long time of distraction during the move into my new house.

I started slow with earliest movie in the “Cat Movie Collection” now on the Criterion Channel, “The Cat Creeps” (1946). It’s a Universal B movie with very little to recommend it. Sort of a failed attempt at combining mild horror with a mystery and a bunch of lame romcon banter. The only bright spot was Noah Beery Jr. who I always like.
