Track of the Cat (1954)






Track of the Cat The basic story
Somewhere out in the mountains, in the middle of nowhere, in a house, lives the Bridges, who for some reason seems to hate each other. One morning, at the same time as a blizzard hits the area, a big panther, apparently with some mystical properties, is killing the cattle. The sons Curt and Harold goes out to hunt the cat.


How was it?
I'm trying to find something nice to say about the movie. The father having bottles of booze stashed around the house was mildly entertaining, but other than that, I can't think of anything. What a piece of crap! The story, the bit there is, makes no sense. The characters apparently hate each other. No explanation why, and not used for anything other than filling the dialogue with pointless bickering. The chase of the panther is basically just two guys running around in the snow. In my opinion, this movie is a complete waste of time and money.
