Paramount Pictures
Starring: Harrison Ford, Lukas Haas
Directed by: Peter Weir
Synopsis: Police detective John Book (Harrison Ford) goes undercover with the Amish to protect a boy named Samuel (Lukas Haas), the only eyewitness to a brutal murder.
Kitty Cameos: In one scene, Samuel shows John the grain silo. He then picks up a tabby kitten with white paws and hands it to John, asking, “Would you like to hold my kitten?” John takes the kitten with some trepidation.
Samual then picks up a second tabby kitten, holding it prone and showing how to give the animal a backrub. The kitten protests at first.
Purr Blurs: Later in the film there is a quick shot of two black cats playing on a grassy lawn.
Final Mewsings: Cats aren’t too fond of upside down Amish backrubs.
