SIMONE SIMON (La bête humaine) stars as a Serbian émigré in Manhattan who believes that, because of an ancient curse, any physical intimacy with the man she loves (Kent Smith) will turn her into a feline predator. Lewton, a consummate producer-auteur who oversaw every aspect of his projects, found an ideal director in Jaques Tourneur (Out of the Past), a chiaroscuro adept at keeping viewers off-kilter with startling compositions and psychological innuendo. Together, they eschewed the canned effects of earlier monster movies in favour of shocking with subtle shadows and creative audio cues as one of the studio's most successful movies of the 1940s, Cat People raised the creature feature to new heights of sophistication and mystery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-vertical\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew, restored 2K digital transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAudio commentary from 2005 featuring film historian Gregory Mank, with excerpts from an audio interview with actor Simone Simon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVal Lewton: The Man in the Shadows, a 2008 feature length documentary that explores the life and career of the legendary Hollywood producer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInterview with director Jacques Tourneur from 1977\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew interview with cinematographer John Bailey about the look of the film\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTrailer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePLUS: An essay by critic Geoffrey O’Brien\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Criterion Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000274141358,"sku":"CC2674BDUK","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/4614\/3918\/files\/catpeople-lime-light.jpg?v=1781788680","url":"https:\/\/limelightcollection.co.uk\/products\/cat-people-blu-ray","provider":"Limelight Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
