Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
Synopsis: Theo (Lana Turner) has her choice of men who want to marry her, but she questions her decision when she settles down with Tom West (John Hodiak).
Kitty Cameo: Early in the film Theo and Tom go to his childhood home in Vermont. As they are looking through one of his old photo albums one night Theo looks up and spots a tabby cat outside the window.
Tom explains the cat’s name is Duke and gets up to let him in.
Duke enters and walks to Theo, who is lying on the floor. Theo pets the cat, who then moves on.
A short time later Duke meows from the window seat, wanting to be let back out.
As Theo lets Duke out, she points out how cats also can also change their minds, comparing it to her own worry about indecision.
Final Mewsings: Cats aren’t indecisive; they just like to keep us on our toes.
