The Parole Officer (2001)

by Mark Murton

Directed by: John Duigan

Synopsis: Failed parole Officer Simon Garden (Steve Coogan) is framed for murder and must enlist the help of his former clients to clear his name.

Kitty Cameo: Simon arrives at the flat of Emma (Lena Headey), an attractive WPC he has met through his work, just as she is drying off after a shower. So he sits on the sofa and talks to the unseen Emma through the open door. Unseen that is until her Oriental Shorthair cat emerges from the wardrobe, causing the door to swing open to an angle where Simon can now see the naked Emma reflected in the mirror.

Final Mewsings: On reflection, it’s probably better not to put your cat in the wardrobe.
