63/100. I have never understood the huge appeal to this film. It's not a bad film at all, but I thought it was just a bit too hokey. Anyone who follows my reviews know I love the classics, but I just don't get it with Cat People. The cast is fine, it has a good atmosphere. Great cinematography and the lighting is extraordinary, decent pacing, but for me it just does not have that "wow" factor. Jacques Tournier's direction is good, but it just isn't a great film. I just thought it was a bit to silly to really work on a classic level. The performances are okay, but a bit bland. It does create an amazing atmosphere. Simone Simon has the look, but her acting is merely adequate.
