The Curse of the Cat People
The theme within the film, a child believed to be on the verge of insanity because she lives in a fantasy world, was personal to producer Val Lewton who behaved in a similar way as a child. His wife has said that she felt he never truly entered the real world as an adult.,The photograph Amy finds in the drawer is seen in closeup to be a portrait of Irena. In long shots, however, it looks more like a wedding picture with one person in white and another in black standing side-by-side.,Oliver 'Ollie' Reed: She could almost be Irena's child.,Also available in a computer colorized version.,Featured in Film Review: Robert Wise (1967),Reuben Ranzo

Sung by Sir Lancelot,Never mind the lurid title; this is a charming fantasy involving a little girl and a lonely retired actress. Julia Dean actually hadn't done a film for a quarter of a century, and is terrific in her comeback role of the secluded actress who is delighted to befriend the child. Recommended to all.,
