synopsis
Filmed in England, Cat Girl was distributed Stateside by American-International. Barbara Shelley stars as Leonora, who is convinced that she has fallen heir to a family curse. All evidence indicates that, from time to time, Leonora assumes the form of a leopard and kills her enemies. Psychiatrist Dr. Marlowe (Robert Ayres) tries to convince the girl that she's merely fantasizing -- or is she? Lou Russoff's screenplay bears more than a passing resemblance to the 1942 Val Lewton classic Cat People. Cat Girl was originally released on a double bill with The Amazing Colossal Man.
