Plot: When a slightly cross-eyed Siamese cat named D.C. (Darn Cat) turns up with a wristwatch around his neck instead of a collar, it could be just the clue the FBI needs to crack a series of bank robber...( read more read more... )ies in this lightweight comedy from Disney. The watch belongs to a bank teller who has been taken hostage. Dean Jones stars as the good-hearted FBI agent assigned to the case. Unfortunately, he is highly allergic to, you guessed it, cats. Hayley Mills is D.C.'s doting owner who hatches a hair-brained scheme to follow D.C.'s every move until he returns to the crooks' hideout where he got the wristwatch. After a lot of sneezing, slapstick, and comedic intrigue, the bank robbers are foiled, the hostage is safe, and everyone is happy. An impressive supporting cast of Frank Gorshin, Elsa Lanchester, Roddy McDowall, and Ed Wynn add to the zaniness. Released in 1965 (and remade in 1997), it is understandably dated, but the performances are fun nonetheless. Hayley Mills is delightful as the determined and unflappable wannabe sleuth, and Dean Jones proves he is adept at physical comedy. This is a movie of little consequence, just a clean, fun diversion that the whole family can watch. The theme song is sung by Bobby Darin. --Peggy Maltby-Etra

    Already ratted this, ummm, well as I have said before...I would give it less if Christina Ricci wasn't in it.

    Clever and hilarious. Dean Jones gives a wonderful performance as the FBI agent and Hayley Mills is spectacular. One of the best live action Disney films.

    I loved this movie when I was growing up, and even now it still doesn't fail to give me a good laugh.

    The remake was not as good as this one I really think they should have stuck with this plot in the remake.

    I love Hayley Mills. And it's a little Disney style intrigue with a cat and a few misunderstandings. a classic worth watching at my house.

    I read the book as a child and I must say I got a painful lesson in bad movie adaptations at a very early age.

    I saw this at the movies as a kid and loved it. I don't know how popular it would be with today's generation, though.

    I love live-action Disney Movies from this era...it's like they were made in some alternate universe...they're all entertaining as hell and I think I saw most of them on Rascher in Chicago...once upon a time...

    One of my favorite Disney films as a kid. Love D.C. (the cat) he rocked my childhood world. This film has humor to it and Hayley Mills is great as the teenager that owns D.C.

    I really like this version of "That Darn Cat "with Hayley Mills better than the newer version of it . It is a good Walt Disney Movie.

    Another movie that I watched countless times as a kid. I haven't seen it since then, so I can only rate it on my past enjoyment.

    One of my favorite childhood movies and still love it! Don't watch the new one, it does not even come close to this old version.

    Rather good, to tell the truth. The plot was interesting enough to keep me engaged, and the kitty is so pretty - though slightly menacing.

    Look at Hayley Mills hair!!!

    Oh, well. She can get away with it... she must be worth about 10 billion $ by now! She's not dead, is she!?

    Definately... intriguing. Reccommended by a friend who innocently believed that my love of both felines and classic movies would render this one irresistable. Close, but no cigar.
