Synopsis: Private Detective Harper (Paul Newman) returns in this film in which he travels to Louisiana to investigate the truth behind the blackmail attempts against a former girlfriend (Joanne Woodward), but that’s only the beginning.
Kitty Cameo: During the course of his investigation, Harper arrives at the apartment of a suspect. As he listens at the door to the man and woman talking within, a small fluffy calico cat appears at his feet, approaching the door.
The cat stands up at the door, wanting to be let in. Harper squats down beside the cat and scratches at the door. The woman inside urges the man to let the cat in. When the man opens the door, Harper slugs him.
Final Mewsings: If you’re a criminal, make sure your cat has a secret knock.
