Description:
His name is 'D.C.' -- short for 'Darn Cat' -- the sleekest sleuth ever to grace the silver screen! Hayley Mills stars as a young woman with an active imagination who contacts the FBI when D.C. suddenly sports a wristwatch around his neck. She's convinced it's the tip-off to crack a baffling bank robbery and kidnapping case. Dean Jones is the allergic federal agent who sniffs around for clues only to find love in the air! An impressive supporting cast -- Frank Gorshin, Elsa Lanchester, Roddy McDowall, and Ed Wynn -- add to the nonstop zaniness. With its clever mix of mystery, romance, and all-out slapstick, THAT DARN CAT! is the cat's meow for purr-fect family entertainment!

When a slightly cross-eyed Siamese cat named D.C. (Darn Cat) turns up with a wristwatch around his neck instead of a collar, it could be just the clue the FBI needs to crack a series of bank robberies in this lightweight comedy from Disney. The watch belongs to a bank teller who has been taken hostage. Dean Jones stars as the good-hearted FBI agent assigned to the case. Unfortunately, he is highly allergic to, you guessed it, cats. Hayley Mills is D.C.'s doting owner who hatches a hair-brained scheme to follow D.C.'s every move until he returns to the crooks' hideout where he got the wristwatch. After a lot of sneezing, slapstick, and comedic intrigue, the bank robbers are foiled, the hostage is safe, and everyone is happy. An impressive supporting cast of Frank Gorshin, Elsa Lanchester, Roddy McDowall, and Ed Wynn add to the zaniness. Released in 1965 (and remade in 1997), it is understandably dated, but the performances are fun nonetheless. Hayley Mills is delightful as the determined and unflappable wannabe sleuth, and Dean Jones proves he is adept at physical comedy. This is a movie of little consequence, just a clean, fun diversion that the whole family can watch. The theme song is sung by Bobby Darin. --Peggy Maltby-Etra

Rating: - The FBI Informer: A Beautiful Seal-Point Siamese Cat
Many reviewers have discussed the hilarious aspects of this film, and I will focus instead on its chain of suspenseful events.
Will the bank-teller hostage complete the "Help" message on her watch before her captors see it? Will the watch around the cat's neck come off as he crawls through a narrow opening in the fence? Will anyone actually notice that the cat is wearing a wristwatch? If so, will it get noticed in time? Will the "Hel" scratched on the back be recognized as "Help"? Will ... Read More
