That Darn Cat!

When a slightly cross-eyed Siamese cat named D.C. (Darn Cat) turns up with a wristwatch around his neck instead of a collar, it could be just the clue the FBI needs to crack a series of bank robberies in this lightweight comedy from Disney. The watch belongs to a bank teller who has been taken hostage. Dean Jones stars as the good-hearted FBI agent assigned to the case. Unfortunately, he is highly allergic to, you guessed it, cats. Hayley Mills is D.C.'s doting owner who hatches a hair-brained scheme to follow D.C.'s every move until he returns to the crooks' hideout where he got the wristwatch. After a lot of sneezing, slapstick, and comedic intrigue, the bank robbers are foiled, the hostage is safe, and everyone is happy. An impressive supporting cast of Frank Gorshin, Elsa Lanchester, Roddy McDowall, and Ed Wynn add to the zaniness. Released in 1965 (and remade in 1997), it is understandably dated, but the performances are fun nonetheless. Hayley Mills is delightful as the determined and unflappable wannabe sleuth, and Dean Jones proves he is adept at physical comedy. This is a movie of little consequence, just a clean, fun diversion that the whole family can watch. The theme song is sung by Bobby Darin. --Peggy Maltby-Etra

5That Darn Cat!  Jan 30, 2008
I Have Seen This Disney Movie Several Times, And To This Day I Can Never Stop Laughing. This Is One Of The Most Funniest 1960,s Disney Movies Ever Made. The Characters Are All Funny, Especially The Cat D.C., What A Smart Cat!, The Funniest Moment Is At The Drive In Theater When D.C. Causes Some Hilarious Trouble. The Bad Guy Versus Good Guy Action Is Great As Well. I Love It All The Way Through. And If Anyone Out There Loves To Laugh, You,ll Really Enjoy This Disney Feature. It Is Much Better Than The Later Remake, The Remake Sadly Lacks Acting Talent And Story Plot. Stick To The Original Movie And Laugh Till You Drop.

5The FBI Informer: A Beautiful Seal-Point Siamese Cat  Jan 05, 2008
Many reviewers have discussed the hilarious aspects of this film, and I will focus instead on its chain of suspenseful events.

Will the bank-teller hostage complete the "Help" message on her watch before her captors see it? Will the watch around the cat's neck come off as he crawls through a narrow opening in the fence? Will anyone actually notice that the cat is wearing a wristwatch? If so, will it get noticed in time? Will the "Hel" scratched on the back be recognized as "Help"? Will the person who recognizes the watch choose to do something about it, or just ignore it?

Will the FBI realize the significance of the watch? Will it be possible to uniquely trace the watch to the victim? Will the chosen agent, who is allergic to cats and who dislikes them, be able to work with the informant cat? Will the cat actually go to the robbers' hideout? If it doesn't, will the FBI give up on this lead? Will the ruse done to get the FBI to continue the search be successful? Will the nosy neighbors and jealous boyfriend inadvertently ruin the entire rescue effort? Will the fire started by the hostage alert the authorities before it is too late? Will the FBI agents converge on the hideout apartment before the bank robbers murder their hostage? Will the cat-allergic spell that temporarily disables the gun-wielding FBI agent give the robbers another chance to murder their hostage and/or get away?
