I had someone smile at me like that once. The next several years were pretty interesting.

This is a metaphor for women's sexuality, which must by controlled by emotionless men in gray suits with large doses of heroin.

Psychiatrist: Call it Lenora, call this so-called β€œcat” on the phone. Let me talk to it on the phone. What’s its phone number Lenora? You don’t know it’s phone number? That’s because CATS DONT EXIST!

OH MY GOD THAT'S THE END

Leonora/Leoparda gets flattened by a car driven by the object of her misplaced affection! Nobody fucks off into the sea, but they're right by the docks so probably somebody fucked off into the Thames or something. Our protagonist learned nothing and resolved nothing, but her curse is dispelled because she was killed??!

And that's a wreck!

Thank you for hosting, @Taweret! Truly this experience felt like coughing up a hairball. No notes, spectacular.

The policemen find a woman run over, a piece of Leonora's raincoat is literally draped across Brian's car hood, and the police let him go because he insists that he didn't hit her and that they wouldn't believe his explanation!?

The least realistic part of the movie was that Leonora would have passed the message from Brian on to Dorothy as "Brian says you should feed me now, and then we'll go out at 10pm and have supper again."

A little unbelievable that Dorothy can go out with Leonora on the town.

Leonora would surely go half way out the door and then refuse to go all the way out.

suggested changes that would improve the Cat Girl (1957):

making the characters vaguely likable
add variety to the cat-like urges, including knocking things off tables, sitting in boxes, slapping people for no reason and kneading biscuits constantly
add more lesbians
have lenore faint less
use the padding moments to make the characters likable instead of wasting them by making the audience bored
either make the psychiatrist guy less of a jerk or have someone punch him in the face

And that's a wrap.

A bit of a vague cat-lady shape-shifter thing going on there, but not so well executed. The screenwriter didn't really seem to know where he wanted to go with this one.

They should give her some knitting supplies for entertainment while she's in this hospital. Well, at least a big ball of wool.

Tonight was the first time I joined #monsterdon. It was fun. In that 1.5h I didn't think about the Bretton Woods conference once. Just the cursed bloodlust of unrequited catgirl love. Looking forward to the next one.

Early on, when I first started doing I was going on about bad movies and someone told me that the point was monster movies, not bad movies.

I beg to differ, sir.

In this scene, after she ate the bird, she should have walked over to the mantle and just knocked a few of these things onto the floor.

And frankly, she shouldn't have eaten the bird. She should have handed the dead bird over as a gift.

"If you want Denmark street, stay to your left. I just hope he doesn't keep you too long! Rough neighbourhood around here."

_a rather chonky leopard walks down the street under a streetlamp_

Rough neighbourhood indeed, that cat is absolutely about to commit crimes. On the docks. Importing undeclared goods to avoid paying duties and fees.

I think Lenore needs a more interesting foil than the psychiatrist guy. Her having a crush on him makes her less relatable because he sucks so much.

Also, its annoying she always just swoons and folds to whatever suggestion he has.

They mostly come at night. Mostly.

To show the audience how the monster works, Lenore wanders aside and catches the cheating couple (including her husband), and then mentally directs her great cat minion to eat them.

This act of monstrous violence makes me... shrug.
