Leonora (Barbara Shelley) travels to the home of her uncle with her jackass of a husband, Richard (Jack May) and another couple named Allan and Cathy (John Lee and Paddy Webster). As the evening wears on, it becomes clear that this will be no ordinary visit.
Leonora has been summoned in order to receive her inheritance, but it's not in the form of money or property. What her uncle bestows on her is in actuality a curse.
CAT GIRL is a different take on the classic movie CAT PEOPLE. While some of the same sexual tension is on display, especially between Richard and Cathy, it's more overt. Being the 1950's, the story is more of an obvious monster movie, whereas the original was more subtle, and left more to be pondered. Proof of this comes during the obligatory "transformation sequences", when the word "werecat" jumps to mind! Still, it isn't a bad movie, as long as one isn't expecting Jacques Tourneur...
