George! (1972)

by Linda Kay

Directed by: Wallace C. Bennett

Synopsis: When his sister decides to marry a Maharaja, Jim Paulsen (Marshall Thompson) is surprised to receive her pet St. Bernard George, a lovable dog who has a knack for getting into all kinds of trouble.

Kitty Cameo: George is said to have a fear of heights and cats. In one scene George goes to town and ends up in a local market. A ginger tabby cat apparently resents the canine’s presence and jumps down from a stand with a dubbed in Poor Cat Screech. We never see the cat and dog interact on screen, just a lot of screeching from the cat and then the messy aftermath of the supposed encounter.

George also seems confused by a large cat statue in town. Amazingly this movie spawned a television series which ran for two seasons!

Final Mewsings: You should be scared of cats when they make that screeching sound!
