Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM)
Starring: Armand Assante, Sherilyn Fenn
Directed by: Carl Reiner
Synopsis: A spoof of suspense thrillers finds cop and attorney Ned Ravine (Armand Assante) on the trail of a femme fatale.
Purr Blur: Late in the film Ned enters a bathroom where the tub is filled with hot water. A moment later he opens a medicine cabinet and a tortoiseshell cat jumps out in a spoof of spring loaded cat moments. The sound effects indicate that off screen the cat jumps into the boiling water and screeches. The cat screech sound is used twice again after this when someone shoves some items off a table and when another person falls out the window, although the cat is not actually seen again.
Final Mewsings: No wonder cats hate baths!
