Cat People (1942, Jacques Tourneur)
For a while I was taping movies off TCM like mad and I found that pile of tapes recently while unpacking. This came off one of them, I am going to start moving through them when I have spare time. There's like 30 or 40 movies there. This Classic horror film from beloved auteur Tourneur took a little while to get going and seems a little trite from a modern view, but its influence on what followed is undeniable and there is some gorgeous b&w cinematography. The Leopard Man is also on this tape so I'll have to get to that next.

I got through a few pages but I haven't really sat down with it. Did you see Simone Simon just died? That is sad.
