Original Title: The Glass Cage
Directed by: Montgomery Tully
Synopsis: Carnival barker Pel Pelham (John Ireland) and professional ‘Starving Man’ Sapolio (Eric Pohlmann) hold a party to raise money for a new circus act. When a girl is murdered during the evening, the various performers quickly become suspects.
Purr Blur: One of the guests at the party is “Ivan the Terrible” (Bernard Bresslaw) who is seen several times cradling a small black kitten.
Oddly enough, Ivan isn’t holding the cat at the start of the scene nor at the end, plus no one else mentions or reacts to the kitten.
Final Mewsings: Anyone who likes cats can’t be all that terrible!
