CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE IN SOUTH AFRICA

A haunting sequel to Cat People (1942) co-directed by Robert Wise (The Haunting, The Sound of Music) in which Amy, the young daughter of Irena (Simon Simon) and Oliver (Kent Smith), is a very imaginative child who is unable to differentiate fantasy from reality, and has no friends of her own age. Amy makes an imaginary friend through the ghost of her father's dead first wife, Irena, and befriends Julia Farren (Julia Dean), an aging, reclusive actress who is also alienated from her own daughter. This sequel, produced by the great Val Lewton, is widely regarded as `the best movie about horror movies and why grown-ups watch them`.
