The Blue Lamp (1950)

Directed by: Basil Dearden

Synopsis: Two London policemen face growing dangers as young criminals without respect for the law or even veteran crooks run amok.

Kitty Cameo: Police Constable Mitchell (Jimmy Hanley) is new to the force and walks his beat at night. Suddenly he hears a loud screeching and turns, shining his flashlight at the sound. He sees a longhair calico cat on a wall which jumps down. Mitchell smiles and starts to walk away then hears even more cats screeching.
