The film was followed by a sequel, The Curse of the Cat People , in , and a remake , directed by Paul Schrader , was released in The film has become well known, though created as a B-movie , being selected by Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry in Retrospective reception of the original has been varied.
Some modern critics have described the film as being too subdued for the genre and have deprecated the quality of the acting.
Others have praised the film's atmosphere and sophistication, with the critic Roger Ebert describing it and the other Val Lewton productions as landmark films of the s.
She catches the attention of marine engineer Oliver Reed Kent Smith , who strikes up a conversation. Irena invites him to her apartment for tea.
At her apartment, Oliver is intrigued by a statue of a medieval warrior on horseback impaling a large cat with his sword. Irena informs Oliver that the figure is King John of Serbia and that the cat represents evil.
According to legend, long ago, the Christian residents of her home village gradually turned to witchcraft and devil-worship after being enslaved by the Mameluks.
When King John drove the Mameluks out and saw what the villagers had become, he had them killed.
However, "the wisest and the most wicked" escaped into the mountains. Oliver is dismissive of the legend even though Irena clearly takes it seriously.
Oliver buys her a kitten, but upon meeting her, it hisses. Irena suggests they go to the pet shop to exchange it.
When they enter the shop, the animals go wild in her presence, and Irena becomes uneasy. Irena gradually reveals to Oliver that she believes she is descended from the cat people of her village, and that she will transform into a panther if aroused to passion.
Despite this, Oliver asks her to marry him, and she agrees. However, during the dinner after their wedding at The Belgrade, a Serbian restaurant, a cat-like woman walks over and addresses Irena as moya sestra "my sister".
Irena never consummates the marriage, fearful of the consequences. Oliver is patient with her, but eventually persuades her to see a psychiatrist, Dr.
Louis Judd Tom Conway. Judd tries to convince her that her fears stem from childhood traumas. Alice confesses to Oliver that she loves him. When Irena chances to see Oliver and Alice seated together at a restaurant, she follows Alice home.
Just as Alice hears a menacing sound, a bus pulls up and she boards it. Soon after, a groundskeeper discovers several freshly killed sheep. The paw prints leading away turn into imprints of a woman's shoes.
Irena returns to her apartment looking dishevelled and exhausted; she is shown shortly afterwards weeping in the bathtub. Irena dreams of Dr.
Judd dressed up as King John speaking of "the key". She later steals the key to the panther's cage in Central Park.
Irena, Oliver and Alice visit a museum, and Irena is angered when the two virtually ignore her. That evening, when Alice decides to use the basement swimming pool of her apartment building, she is stalked by an animal.
When Alice screams for help, Irena appears, turning on the lights, and says she is looking for Oliver. Alice later finds her bathrobe torn to shreds.
After an appointment with Dr. Judd, Irena tells Oliver that she is no longer afraid, but Oliver tells her it is too late: he has realized that he loves Alice and intends to divorce Irena.
Later at work, Oliver and Alice are cornered by a snarling animal. Oliver and Alice manage to get out of the building but not before smelling Irena's perfume.
Alice calls Judd to warn him to stay away from Irena, but he hangs up when Irena arrives for her appointment with him. He kisses Irena passionately, resulting in her transformation into a panther who attacks and kills him.
When Oliver and Alice arrive at Judd's office, Irena slips away and goes to the zoo. There, she opens the panther's cage with the stolen key and is struck down by the escaping panther, which is accidentally run down and killed by a car.
Next to the panther's cage, Oliver and Alice find a dead panther lying on the ground. Oliver says, "She never lied to us. The following cast went uncredited: [2].
Lewton selected most of the film's main crew, including director Jacques Tourneur and writer DeWitt Bodeen , who all worked on the treatment.
Tourneur and Bodeen offered conflicting accounts as to how Cat People was conceived. Tourneur said that Lewton called him from RKO to direct the film after Koener attended a party where it was suggested to him that he develop a film with the title Cat People.
Tourneur added that Lewton was not sure what to do with the title and recalled Lewton deciding to not make a "cheap horror movie that the studio expected but something intelligent and in good taste".
He had previously watched British and American horror and suspense films that he felt were "typical of what we did not want to do".
Bodeen added that Lewton was unhappy with the proposed title of Cat People and said, "if you want to get out now, I won't hold it against you".
Lewton decided to base the film on Algernon Blackwood 's short story "Ancient Sorceries". During the writing process, Tourneur recalled driving by Lewtown's home in the evening to find a light turned on where Lewton was still working on the screenplay.
Bodeen described the screenplay as a "group project", saying Lewton had the original idea and wrote the treatment and screenplay, collaborating with Tourneur and Lewton, and later the film's editor Mark Robson.
Bodeen concluded that "Tourneur was entirely responsible for the style of Cat People , but if you read the screenplay you would find everything in the film was in the original script — and that's simply because it was a group project.
Val, Tourneur, myself, Robson — we all talked about it and I put it down on paper. Simone Simon was cast in the role of Irena Dubrovna by producer Lewton.
The Los Angeles Times reported in August that Jack Holt had been cast in a supporting role, following Simon's casting as the lead.
Judd, a psychiatrist who evaluates Irena and initially believes her fears to be delusional. According to Tourneur, Lewton subsequently contacted Koener, who viewed the raw unedited footage of the film the following day and expressed satisfaction with Tourneur's performance.
The director finished this scene by shooting it in a way that "you couldn't really be sure what you were seeing. That's the only way to do it.
Some of the film sets were re-used from previous productions, such as the hallway and staircase in Dubrovna's apartment, which were from The Magnificent Ambersons.
The location was chosen by the production team due to its claustrophobic atmosphere. That became the 'bus' and we used it in every film.
Lewton found Simon singing a tune at RKO that went "doo-doo-baby-doo", subsequently taking her to see Webb, who developed the tune into the film's score.
Prior to its official release, the higher-up executives at RKO saw the film at a studio projection room and expressed disapproval. The film's box office receipts are disputed.
RKO Home Video released the film home video in as part of their horror series. At the time of its original release, the reviews for Cat People were mixed.
Crowther commented on Simon's acting, stating that actresses who are trying to portray "[feline] temptations — in straight horror pictures, at least — should exercise their digits a bit more freely than does Simone Simon".
Newman referred to the reviews after the film opened in Los Angeles as "somewhat better". Potent stuff, straight from the psychopathic clinic.
Fujiwara summarized Cat People ' s retrospective critical status by stating that it "is so famous that it has, inevitably, suffered a backlash, and now it might even be called underrated".
Siegel spoke about the film in his book on Lewton, stating it was "seriously weakened by passages of lumpy, strained dialogue, uncertain performance and uneven pacing".
Bansak found that Cat People "may have lost some of its edge over the years and what remains may be a bit tarnished, but it is infinitely better than Paul Schrader's remake".
On another occasion, he suggested that World War II -era audiences "all love war and love to be frightened, and in wartime people had money from plants, money to burn, and they loved that kind of film".
It's simply that they threw the baby out with the bathwater by rejecting everything of the Universal product.
The critical reception to Simon's acting has historically been mixed. He adds, "there's a sense of life in her performance that makes Cat People , like most great monster movies, as much as a tragedy as a melodrama".
Newman praises the film, noting that it was the first major supernatural horror film with a contemporary urban, American setting with "normal people, engaged in normal occupations" as leading characters.
He concludes that Cat People was a progenitor of films like Rosemary's Baby. Fujiwara concluded that Cat People is "with all its flaws, a perfect film".
He added that even its flaws "have become classic", dismissing the "careful", "tepid", "strained" and "uneven" qualities that some critics have complained about.
Fujiwara states that Cat People "is still contagious; the viewer can still share the surprise and pleasure the film evoked in audiences who discovered this unheralded B horror film on its initial release".
Ebert added that the films Lewton produced in the s were "landmark[s] in American movie history". On discussing the history of horror films, Newman states that if a horror film in the s was financially successful, it was likely to become a franchise.
Lewton had unsuccessfully attempted to have the film's title changed to Amy and Her Friend. Other actors from Cat People appear in the film in different roles, such as Russell, who plays Barbara Farren.

The first person who she makes a personal connection with there is marine engineer Oliver Reed. The two fall in love and get married despite Irena's reservations, not about Oliver but about herself.
She has always felt different than other people, but has never been sure why. She lives close to the zoo, and unlike many of her neighbors is comforted by the sounds of the big cats emanating from the zoo.
And although many see it purely as an old wives' tale, she believes the story from her village of ancient residents being driven into witchcraft and evil doing, those who managed to survive by escaping into the mountains.
After seeing her emotional pain, Oliver arranges for her to see a psychiatrist to understand why she believes what she does. In therapy, Dr. Judd, the psychiatrist, learns that she also believes, out of that villagers' tale, that she has descended from this evil - women Written by Huggo.
After several movies made in his native France ,Jacques Jack Tourneur makes his first American works in the late thirties. We're close to psychological drama.
The movie was ahead of its time in several respects:the Freudian allusions would later be developed by Fritz Lang "secret beyond the door", and of course Hitchcock "Spellbound",same year.
You're going to say that these two great directors give their movies a "realistic" treatment and Jack Tourneur does not. Actually,he takes a divergent way:he introduces ambiguity,this ambiguity dear to Roman Polanski.
After all,it could be a mere ,so to speak, neurosis. Isn't it the fear of woman,of the original sin?. This topic will be brilliantly taken on by Christian de Challonges "l'alliance" Note also how Richard Donner aped the pet shops scene for "the omen" It seems that Alice's character is an easy way out,and the weak part of the movie because she's essentially here to comfort the audience,to show the way to "straight" life and to secure a happy end.
The remake destroys all ambiguity,keeps nothing from the original story but the proper nouns ,and fills its quota of nudity and blood.
