That Darn Cat still up to his old tricks

I love this movie, a cute flashback to my youth in 1965.
"That Darn Cat" is a funny, charming movie suitable for the whole family that will have many baby boomers such as myself yearning for a much simpler time.
On his nightly quest for anything edible, D.C. wreaks havoc in his neighborhood and ultimately helps save a woman kidnapped by bank robbers. "Dark Shadows" fans will recognize Grayson Hall in the role as the captive bank teller.
A youthful Haley Mills and popular Dean Jones in their Disney heydey lead the capable cast which also includes Dorothy Provine, Roddy McDowell, William Demarest (Uncle Charlie from "My Three Sons"), and the great comedic talent, Ed Wynn. Other notables are Neville Brand ("Laredo"), impressionist Frank Gorshin, as the bad guys, plus "The Bride of Frankenstein" herself, Elsa Lanchester, successfully trying her hand at comedy.
Then, of course, there's the star of the show himself - D.C. That darn cat is in fine form in every since of the word. Cat fanciers will revel in the svelt beauty of this Siamese with those dazzling blue eyes.
All in all, I highly recommend this movie to everyone of all ages, especially for young people. I think it's good that they have the opportunity to see that a "clean" movie can be fun and entertaining. It's refreshing to see a film that is void of graphic violence, sexuality, innuendo, perversion, filthy language, drug abuse or anything else negative found in movies today.
"That Darn Cat" fills the bill nicely with an interesting plot, laughs galore, and an "action" ending.
See it with your kids today and watch the fur fly as the FBI "tails" that darn cat!
