  • That Darn Cat!
  • The fur flies when a smart Siamese cat goes undercover and Hayley Mills and Dean Jones team up for mystery, adventure, and wild comedy on Disney DVD. When the irrepressible and always hungry D.C. (Darn Cat) turns up with a wristwatch for a collar, it becomes a tip-off to an unsolved robbery and kidnapping. You don't know who's tailing who as nosy neighbors, jealous boyfriends, and a highly allergic FBI agent play a game of cat and mouse to crack the baffling case. Don't miss the spectacular supporting cast featuring Dorothy Provine, Roddy McDowall, Frank Gorshin, and Ed Wynn, plus 100 purr-cent feline family fun!

    This should draw even better than some of Disney's recent pictures, which were a little too far-out for some of his admirers.

    Robert Stevenson directed, and it's one of Disney's more watchable live-action efforts.

    Although dated, the original clearly outshines the remake. Even the cat in the original possesses superior acting talent and a wider ranges of emotions.
