Synopsis
"That Darn Cat!" (1965) is a Disney crime comedy directed by Robert Stevenson that you can watch online on iFILM. Haley Mills plays Patti, whose Siamese cat wanders the neighbourhood and comes home one night wearing a stranger's wristwatch — with the word "HELP" scratched into the case.
Patti talks a deeply sceptical FBI agent, played by Dean Jones, into running a full surveillance operation with the cat as the lead. The agency's plan is meticulous. The cat does whatever he wants.
Stevenson shot this in the same year he wrapped Mary Poppins and had a talent for keeping Disney comedies from going soft. The mystery actually holds together, and the cat's total indifference to everyone's agenda is funnier than any scripted gag. Stream "That Darn Cat!" (1965) online on iFILM.
