Synopsis: Actor Jack Andrus (Kirk Douglas) sees the offer to work behind the scenes on a film in Rome as an opportunity to put his troubled past behind him.

Before laying into the actor and talking straight with him, Jack sets the Siamese cat down on a table behind them.

The cat remains on the table, preening, and doesn’t even flinch when Jack knocks a paper cup out of Davie’s hand.
