Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
Synopsis: A large family in Argentina break apart and end up on opposite sides in France and Germany during World War I.
Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): In one scene RenĂ© Lacour (Derek Ghent) is dressed in a soldier’s uniform while his fiancĂ©, Chichi (Virginia Warwick) fusses with him and calls him her little sugar soldier. Rene is frustrated because he wants to be a real soldier, but his father, the Senator, has arranged for him to go into the auxiliary service. The couple are at odds and sit down in chairs apart from one another. We then see a shot of a cat sitting next to a dog. The cat hisses and swipes angrily at the tiny dog.
Leo Paxton was a ginger tabby Angora cat who worked at various studios in the early 1920’s and was noted for having his own bank account.
Final Mewsings: Don’t mess with cats or women when they’re mad.
