Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Cat People (1942)


Irena (Simone Simon), a Serbian-born artist living in New York, is haunted by the seemingly-irrational fear that she is a descendant of a race of cat-women. A ship designer, Oliver Reed (Kent Smith), falls in love with the girl and tries to convince her that her feline instincts are no more than a slight mental aberration. Unfortunately, his efforts have little effect. So he enlists the aid of a fashionable psychiatrist, Dr Judd (Tom Conway).
