That Darn Cat! (1965)

 A high strung suburban feline could hold the key to tracking down some bank robbers and a kidnapped teller in this better then average 60's live action Disney comedy. 'That Darn Cat!' features Disney regulars Dean Jones as a harried FBI agent and a 19 year old Hayley Mills as the cats owner, to the extent that one could be said to own a cat like "D.C." (short for Darned or D****d Cat). Supporting roles for Frank Gorshin, Elsa Lanchester, and Roddy McDowall. Film hums along pleasantly, is very well put together actually (not always the case for Disney films of this period), has a clever theme song, and unexpectedly contains and abortionist joke. ***
