Made in the sixties but with a distinctly thirties feel (except that in the thirties it would have taken place in a house the size of Blenheim). 'B' movie workhorse Montgomery Tully was still working in black & white and thirty shillings was still a substantial sum of money when this diverting little potboiler with a predominately female cast was dashed off (it even includes a very rare film appearance by the sorely missed Joan Sanderson).
This is a slow burning murder mystery that keeps you guessing till the end. Perhaps the final reveal is a bit quick, especially if you are used to Columbo style re-enactments of the murder, so you need to pay attention.
The most notable thing about this film is that the play upon which it is based was co authored by Arnold Ridley,Private Godfrey of Dads Army.The problem with this film is that there is rarely any tension.
WHO KILLED THE CAT? is a slightly oddball, long forgotten British murder mystery with an old-fashioned feel to it; hard to believe this was released during the Swinging Sixties.
"Who Killed The Cat?" is a poorly made, cheap and virtually plotless murder mystery.
