"C" is for THAT DARN CAT! [1965] - A to Z April Challenge [2015]

So what can we say about Disney? Holds a special place in some of our hearts, for the villains or heroes and or the beautiful look. I hope to share a little bit of everything in the days coming, maybe things you forgot about, maybe not and being part of the Co-hosting for A to Z Challenge we all remember Tina... a dear friend and sweet lady.

Please stop back throughout the challenge, can I encourage you to start following me on Google + and be a member. I promise to give you posts here on why we are all a little "Hollywood Nuts"! -Jeremy [Retro]

That Darn Cat! is a 1965 American Walt Disney Productions thriller comedy film starring Hayley Mills (in her last of the six films she made for the Walt Disney Studios) and Dean Jones (starring in his first film for Disney) in a story about bank robbers, a kidnapping and a mischievous cat. The film was based on the book Undercover Cat by Gordon and Mildred Gordon and was directed by Robert Stevenson. The title song was written by the Sherman Brothers and sung by Bobby Darin. The 1997 remake featured a cameo appearance by Dean Jones.

  1. Enjoyed the clip. Such an innocent time. C for me would be Cinderella, not the one now though.

  7. I loved that movie. Watched it many times over the years. A lot of good laughter and hey, it had a cat as a hero. Pretty good.

  8. Gosh I'm old because I do remember seeing this movie. So many Disney movies were so light hearted, fun, made you laugh, good family entertainment indeed.

  9. I am starting to arrive to the conclusion that Americans are overwhelmingly cat people. Haven't even heard about this one, though...

  14. The ideal of calm exists in the mind of that darn cat.

  15. I love Disney <3
    This one here though is way behind my time :D
    I'd still say C is for Cinderella (the cartoon movie) if somebody asks me. My favorite in that though wasn't the cat, it was the fat adorable mouse Gus Gus :D

  19. Oh my gosh. I haven't seen that movie in ages! I think I watched it in college? The 'clue around the neck' makes me think of the dog in Men In Black haha

  21. Oh I just saw this film last year with my best friend. I loved it! Great pick!

  22. The only thing about this Disney post that's even remotely familiar is Robert Stevenson. That Darn Cat sounds like a funny name for a movie title and after reading the description, it fits the plot to a tee. I'm all for funny comedies but can't say I'd watch this one but am glad you posted something about it 'cause it's always fun to learn about movies from back in the day. Gotta say...I do like the artwork...it's cute :)

  25. That's a fun movie. I pretty much like any movie with Hayley Mills in it, even when Dean Jones is in it.
    Cool post. I didn't learn to swim until I was in high school, and then I became a fish.:-)

  27. I LOVED That Darn Cat! I ranked up there with North Avenue Irregulars and The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh as Disney movies I loved as a kid that weren't animated. Good luck with the rest of the challenge!
