Based on Steven Peros's play, THE CAT'S MEOW is a movie directed by Peter Bogdanovich in 2001. The picture tries to give a solution to the strange death of Thomas Ince on W. R. Hearst's boat in 1924.
William Randolph Hearst, the famous billionaire, has invited a dozen people for a cruise aboard his private yacht. Among them, one finds Charles S. Chaplin, Thomas Ince, Louella Parsons and Hearst's mistress, Marion Davies. Ince is looking for a new partner and hopes to convince Hearst to hire him as his representative in Hollywood and Charles Chaplin, between two scandals, is courting Marion Davies, an actress much younger than Hearst, who's become a silent movie star, thanks to her lover's money, in historical pictures. Ince, persuaded to gain Hearst's trust by gathering proofs of Davies's treachery, will be the cause of a terrible drama during the cruise when W. R. Hearst learns the truth about the couple Davies/Chaplin and wants his revenge.
