That Darn Cat (1965)

Two bank robbers (Neville Brand, Frank Gorshin) take a bank teller (Grayson Hall) as a hostage and hide out in a suburban neighborhood. But an adventurous Siamese cat called DC who's had contact with the kidnappers may prove to be their undoing when the FBI goes on the cat's trail. Based on the novel UNDERCOVER CAT by Gordon and Mildred Gordon (EXPERIMENT IN TERROR) and directed by Robert Stevenson (MARY POPPINS). This charming live action offering from Disney is a winner! You don't have to be a cat lover to be taken by the scene stealing Siamese or actually several Seal Point Siamese playing DC, who may be the best feline actor since Orangey in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S. The poor human actors don't stand a chance. They include Hayley Mills and Dorothy Provine as the sisters who own the cat, Dean Jones as an FBI agent and Roddy McDowall as Provine's stiff suitor. It may be Disney fluff but it's quite entertaining and doesn't overdo the "cuteness". Bobby Darin sings the title song. With Elsa Lanchester, Ed Wynn, William Demarest, Tom Lowell and Iris Adrian.
