it's not a very good movie,but the theme: a werecat 🐅🐆🐈‍⬛

just like the legend of the werewolf, the legend of the werecat is present everywhere like Europe,Asia,Africa and The Americas.

I would like to see more movies about it because I only know this one.

The Catman of Paris Lesley Selander USA, 1946 ★★★ This gets so monumentally silly that I cannot but commend everyone involved for keeping a straight face.

And there's even a carriage chase!

The Catman of Paris (1946) is actually a pretty good horror movie, doesn't pass the Bechdel test but there are so many other pros. There is a twist that although I technically guessed it was done in a jokey manner and I fully did not expect the ending. One of the bad parts however would be the very weird transition scene from man to cat, so much so that it is not immediately apparent that its a transformation that is happening. 7/10 not bad, would watch again, not as good as wasp woman, but the female power was low-key there.
