Another Jacques Tourneur/Val Lewton collaboration. Sadly not a patch on the 1942 excellent Cat People. Little by way of suspense or acting ability.Over use of the castanets with the exception of the dance sequence was distracting. The potential for a murder mystery was never fully brought to the screen as the killer was as obvious as an elephant in a pet shop. Overall a big disappointment to the skills and vision of the director and producer
