Directed by: Stephen Roberts
Synopsis: Temple Drake (Miriam Hopkins) is a somewhat promiscuous and troubled rich girl who finds herself way in over her head when she ends up with a gang of criminals, one of whom makes it his business to have her body and soul.
Kitty Cameo: When Temple disappears the gossip runs rampant, most believing she has run away with one of her many beaus. During a collection of scenes of people talking about the missing girl, we see a black cat sitting by a fence and a woman’s hand petting it as she gossips about how Temple ran away with only the dress she wore to the dance the night she disappeared.
As the woman finishes, the cat looks up and meows.
Final Mewsings: Catty women like gossip. Cats only like gossip if they are being petted.
