Rental of the Week: "That Darn Cat"



So this week I'm going to be recommending a cat movie and a dog movie. Obviously, today's recommendation is a cat movie. "That Darn Cat" stars Hayley Mills as the owner of a siamese cat named "DC" (Darn Cat)! Her character, Patti, has an older sister named Ingrid (Dorothy Provine), and both girls are home alone throughout the film, for their parents are traveling during the time in which the movie takes place. But let's not forget "DC," who, like most cats, happens to be a prowler. One night during his "rounds," the cat begins to follow a bank robber named Iggy. "DC" follows the robber all the way to an apartment in which he and his partner, Dan, are holding a bank teller hostage. The bank teller, who's name is Margaret, is able to take of "DC's collar and sneak her watch around his neck. On the watch she has written a (call for help) message, but she is only able to scratch H-E-and part of an L on the back of the watch before Dan notices something suspicious. However, "DC" leaves the apartment with the watch around his neck, and the men no nothing about it. As Margaret hoped, "DC's" owner finds the watch and realizes that that a call for help has been scratched on the back of the watch. Patti immediately goes to the FBI and teams up with an agent named Zeke Kelso (Dean Jones) to solve the case. How exactly do they find who they're looking for? Well, let's just say it involves FBI following "DC" around! But will "DC" lead them to the robbers? You'll have to watch the movie to find out! Now, this may sound like a mystery, and it is, but even more so it is a comedy! Trust me, you will laugh until you cry!
