Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
Synopsis: Linda Gault (Ruth Chatterton) is a woman determined never to be poor again, which may be difficult since her husband Geoffrey (George Brent) is about to lose everything in the stock market crash.
Kitty Cameo: In the first scene Linda is with her husband’s friend, and also her lover, John Fair (Henry Kolker). Sitting beside John on the couch is his gray long-haired cat. He pets the cat, but not really correctly.
Later in the film Geoffrey visits John to ask for a loan. As he enters he finds John standing and holding his cat. John sets the cat down on a chair to talk to Geoffrey.
Final Mewsings: Cats are more reliable than money or women.
