Cat People is a 1942 American horror film directed by Jacques Tourneur and produced for RKO by Val Lewton. The film tells the story of Irena Dubrovna, a newly-married Serbian fashion illustrator obsessed with the idea that she is descended from an ancient tribe of Cat People who metamorphose into panthers when aroused. When her husband begins to show interest in one of his coworkers, Irena begins to stalk her. The film stars Simone Simon as Irena, and features Kent Smith, Tom Conway and Jane Randolph in supporting roles.

I remember that movie and Simone Simon. Also the zoo scene.

It’s a good film although I prefer the 1982 version with smoking hot Nastassja Kinski and the David Bowie soundtrack.

Kinski was something, but Simone wasn't exactly yesterday's petunias.

See these eyes so green? I could stare for a thousand years.

Great tune - possibly Bowie’s best:

In Connecticut, this was the theme song to Lowell Weicker’s governorship in 1990 when he responded to a recession with a state income tax. Downhill ever since.

I did not even know there was a 1942 version. Got to watch it. I really likes the David Bowie soundtrack
of the modern version. Nastassja Kinski was born 3 days before my wife and like my wife has aged very well😉.

[NativeSon]

Excellent song.

[The Right Edge]

my cat loves me and I love him. But, when nap time comes... he says “quit rubbing on me and let’s go to sleep.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

You should see the more modern version with Annette O’Toole as the swimmer. Gives new meaning to scared and healthy as the same time.

Oh mama - like putting out fire with gasoline....

[Hiddigeigei]

I saw the original 1942 version when I was ten or eleven yo. It gave me nightmares.

ISWYDT :)

A song that always gives me chills.
But I think that comes from hearing it first in the movie.
