Product Description

Review

"A book of rare sensitivity and charm."--"Sight and Sound

Product Description

Released in 1943, "Cat People" was the first production from the unit set up by RKO to make low-cost, high-return horror movies. Producer Val Lewton was handed the title and ordered to come up with a film to fit. He and director Jacques Tourneur created an innovative picture about a Serbian emigree in New York ("Simone Simon") who's convinced she's suffering from a hereditary curse that will transform her into a panther if her passions are aroused. Kim Newman positions this 74-minute classic in terms of the horror film genre from which it emerges and against which it rebels. Through close analysis, he teases out the layers of meaning and intent that make this at once a supernatural drama and an unusual psychological study.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book about an excellent movie., 5 Dec 1999

By	blaneymd@globalnet.co.uk (Middlesbrough, England) - See all my reviews

Newman's book is an excellent companion to one of my favourite movies. His inciteful scene by scene analysis is fascinating, allowing us not only an insight into the movie but also into the people behind it. A must buy for Cat People fans and a necessary addition to the libraries of movie students everywhere.
