King Brothers Productions
Starring: Simone Simon, Chester Clute, Minna Gombell
Directed by: Joe May
Synopsis: Kathie Aumont (Simone Simon) arrives in New York to take on a wartime job and ends up subletting an apartment from a man who forgets to tell her he has also handed out keys to all of his guy pals.
Purr Blur: There is an illustration of a black cat in the opening title credit of the film but the bad luck Kathie experiences is caused by a gremlin, not a black cat.
In fact the only cat that shows up is when Kathie is seen briefly downstairs visiting the building’s landlords (Minna Gombell and Chester Clute). She is playing with a tuxedo cat, holding it up with its paws out. The cat is hardly seen in the wide shot and only on screen for a moment in the closer shot.
Final Mewsings: Cats don’t mind being manhandled by Simone Simon.
Many thanks to Kitty L. for spotting this Purr Blur!
