Cat Out of the Bag Alert!  This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: Hilda Fenchurch (Faye Emerson) falls for the handsome Ronnie Mason (Zachary Scott), a man who shows up at her mother’s home looking for a place to stay.  Hilda doesn’t realize that the charming Ronnie is a cold and calculating killer but grows concerned when his interest shifts from her to her younger sister Anne (Mona Freeman).

Purr Blurs: At the very beginning of the film we see Ronnie with one of his victims.  When the woman’s landlady comes knocking he sneaks out the window.  He has to drop a distance to the alley below, then stands up and limps away.  As he walks through the alley there are two cats rummaging around in the garbage cans nearby.

Final Mewsings: Cats eat a lot of garbage in movies.
