Movie Reviews of That Darn Cat!
Movie Review: My All-Time Favorite Comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Yet, it is funny without being too silly. Dean Jones was excellent playing what is basically a straight man's role, with some of the other characters (including the cat) being the comedic stars.
The villains are very effective. You can tell from the beginning of the movie we are not dealing with typical comedy villains. One of them, played by Frank Gorshin (a year before he showed up as the Riddler in the Batman TV series). It creates the tension of a woman whose life is in danger, which is the set up for the story.
One of my all-time favorite scenes is where D. C. (for "Darn Cat") is playing with a butterfly in front of a drive thru movie camera. I find it funny . . . but then, I can picture a cat doing that.
This is a timeless comedy classic, and I highly recommend it for a good laugh. U also feel it is safe for children of all ages, though I always recommend parental involvement with any movie or TV series a child watches.
Movie Review: Darn That Cat!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd been holding out on this title for a widescreen version of the film...which this is not. I am a widescreen snob like so many others but I just could not hold out any more. We have a 42" plasma TV and I'll tell you, the film did not look all that bad. It is stretched but, it doesn't look terrible. I'd prefer a lovely remastered anamorphic widescreen version but, in lieu of not knowing if that will ever happen....this will certainly do.
The movie is a little slow in parts but is a Disney classic. No child of the late 60's or 70's who grew up with Disney live-action movies could deny that this is one for the collection.
That Darn Cat! does deserve a special edition.
Movie Review: Classic Hayley Mills film
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD version of the movie looks great and is very enjoyable. Hayley Mills is her usual irrepressible self, and the supporting cast is top notch. The feline actor in particular! ;)
I don't quite understand the anger from some other reviewers about the fullscreen format. It didn't bother me at all. Disappointment I could understand, but this kind of vitriol? It's still a very watchable and enjoyable film for all ages, and I found it a refreshing change from the dumbed-down "kid's" movies they tend to make these days. Adults will enjoy the suspenseful story, retro style, and feline antics just as much as kids will. I'd skip the remake and get the original.
Movie Review: That Darn Cat!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Movie Review: Still funny after all of these years!
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember seeing this movie as a kid and it is still just as funny now as it was then. Dean Jones and the cat, "DC" are the stars! You will love the part at the drive-in movie while he is chasing "DC". The nosey neighbor and her husband are very funny characters! The beginning is a little slow for kids, but the story has to be brought out. Once it is, away you go! This is a movie that is wholesome and is great family entertainment of which you don't find anymore. My 10 year old daughter loves it! If you are looking for a movie that your whole family can enjoy, I highly recommend it.
