Frances (1982)

Directed by: Graeme Clifford

Synopsis: This biopic of actress Frances Farmer (Jessica Lange) delves into her battles with the Hollywood system and her mother, as well as her nightmarish experiences in a mental institution.

Purr Blur: As Frances is arguing with her mother and storming out of the house, a ginger tabby cat can be seen walking up the stairs.

This is strange because the family’s dog has been already established and is also seen in this shot. The cat, however, has not appeared before and will not appear again.

Final Mewsings: Cat actors can only take so much realism.
