Directed by: Robert Scheerer

Synopsis: Jane (Susan Saint James), Elaine (Jane Curtin) and Louise (Jessica Lange) are three struggling housewives who find themselves in financial difficulties and come up with a plan to steal the one million dollars on display at the mall as part of a contest promotion.

Purr Blurs: Early in the film we see Louisa arrive at the veterinary clinic her husband owns. As she enters the building, two women are cradling cats in the lobby.

A third woman is holding a tortoiseshell cat at the front desk as she begs the clerk to redeposit a check which has already bounced.

Final Mewsings: We will do anything for our cats, even writing bad checks.

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