The fur flies when a smart Siamese cat goes undercover and Hayley Mills and Dean Jones team up for mystery, adventure, and wild comedy on Disney DVD. When the irrepressible and always hungry D.C. (Darn Cat) turns up with a wristwatch for a collar, it becomes a tip-off to an unsolved robbery and kidnapping. You don't know who's tailing who as nosy neighbors, jealous boyfriends, and a highly allergic FBI agent play a game of cat and mouse to crack the baffling case. Don't miss the spectacular supporting cast featuring Dorothy Provine, Roddy McDowall, Frank Gorshin, and Ed Wynn, plus 100 purr-cent feline family fun!

That Darn Cat!
I Have Seen This Disney Movie Several Times, And To This Day I Can Never Stop Laughing. This Is One Of The Most Funniest 1960,s Disney Movies Ever Made. The Characters Are All Funny, Especially The Cat D.C., What A Smart Cat!, The Funniest Moment Is At The Drive In Theater When D.C. Causes Some Hilarious Trouble. The Bad Guy Versus Good Guy Action Is Great As Well. I Love It All The Way Through. And If Anyone Out There Loves To Laugh, You,ll Really Enjoy This Disney Feature. It Is Much Better Than The Later Remake, The Remake Sadly Lacks Acting Talent And Story Plot. Stick To The Original Movie And Laugh Till You Drop.

The FBI Informer: A Beautiful Seal-Point Siamese Cat
Many reviewers have discussed the hilarious aspects of this film, and I will focus instead on its chain of suspenseful events.
Will the bank-teller hostage complete the "Help" message on her watch before her captors see it? Will the watch around the cat's neck come off as he crawls through a narrow opening in the fence? Will anyone actually notice that the cat is wearing a wristwatch? If so, will it get noticed in time? Will the "Hel" scratched on the back be recognized as "Help"? Will the person who recognizes the watch choose to do something about it, or just ignore it?
Will the FBI realize the significance of the watch? Will it be possible to uniquely trace the watch to the victim? Will the chosen agent, who is allergic to cats and who dislikes them, be able to work with the informant cat? Will the cat actually go to the robbers' hideout? If it doesn't, will the FBI give up on this lead? Will the ruse done to get the FBI to continue the search be successful? Will the nosy neighbors and jealous boyfriend inadvertently ruin the entire rescue effort? Will the fire started by the hostage alert the authorities before it is too late? Will the FBI agents converge on the hideout apartment before the bank robbers murder their hostage? Will the cat-allergic spell that temporarily disables the gun-wielding FBI agent give the robbers another chance to murder their hostage and/or get away?

Darn That Cat!
I'd been holding out on this title for a widescreen version of the film...which this is not. I am a widescreen snob like so many others but I just could not hold out any more. We have a 42" plasma TV and I'll tell you, the film did not look all that bad. It is stretched but, it doesn't look terrible. I'd prefer a lovely remastered anamorphic widescreen version but, in lieu of not knowing if that will ever happen....this will certainly do.
The movie is a little slow in parts but is a Disney classic. No child of the late 60's or 70's who grew up with Disney live-action movies could deny that this is one for the collection.
That Darn Cat! does deserve a special edition.

Why, oh WHY is this FULL SCREEN???
The movie is a delightful romp, with a cast of wonderfully talented actors. This was one of those transition films for Haley Mills, between childhood and adult. Dean Jones was great, and the supporting characters are just that - characters.
HOWEVER: This film was released to theaters in 1965, at a high point in the Disney studio history. It was shot in WIDESCREEN. Why is it now only available on DVD in full screen???
This is a FIVE STAR movie. I give it four stars, subtracting one for the full screen DVD format.

That Darn Cat
Still a favorite after all of these years! Cute and charming, with plenty of laughs. Even my "cool" pre-teen boys really enjoyed it.
