Directed by: Brian De Palma

Synopsis: Donald Beeman (Tom Smothers) is tired of being a business executive and trades it all in to become a tap dancing magician, much to the consternation of his boss (John Astin).

Cat Cattle Call: When Beeman eschews his former life he looks for more humble lodgings. His first visit is to the Ritz Hotel which ends quickly when the manager opens the door to a room which appears to be inundated with cats. Beeman shakes his head at the sight and quickly leaves.

Final Mewsings: A room full of cats should earn that hotel a star!

Many thanks to Ted Davis for letting us know about the cats in this film.
