Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2006Stars Fell on Henrietta
Has anyone else seen this movie? Robert Duvall is the actor in the leading role, and he has a constant companion, a cat he calls Matilda, who is quite a character. They even go hitchhiking together! The casting director must have had a hard time finding a female cat to play the role, because in numerous scenes you can clearly see Matilda's rather large testicles. I wonder why they didn't give the cat a masculine name? Maybe they figured no one would notice that Matilda is actually a boycat. I really enjoyed the movie. Robert Duvall is such a sweetie IRL too. >Has anyone else seen this movie? > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >I really enjoyed the movie. Robert Duvall is such a sweetie IRL too.

I remember that one vaguely. Was Art Carney in it? And wasn't "Harry" just wandering aimlessly with the cat?

With such a pivotal role in the movie, it's a shame Ebert left the cat's name off of the credits. Is this an example of cat-ism? Or perhaps fur- ism?

You said that he "left the cat's name off of the credits." That's why I don't get what you're saying. If he's a movie critic, he probably had nothing to do with preparing the credits. >> Roger Ebert, a popular American movie critic, previously one half of >> the famous pair of critics, Siskel & Ebert. > > You said that he "left the cat's name off of the credits."

(ie, before it's too late?) Google It Yourself, Friend? Go In Yellow Frocks? Inquiring minds, etc Meanwhile... I'm *still* wondering whether any harm comes to the cat in this movie. I would like to rent it, but don't want to be worrying about that. Please, gimme the spoiler! :) (At least, as regards the fate of the cat.) Well, you don't have to spoil it all. I just want to know that the kitty turns out OK. Or if not, I want to know that so I won't rent the film. Please, won't *someone* tell me? Thanks! Joyce > Meanwhile...

I missed that post - Usenet posts don't always arrive in the same order that they are sent out in. Thanks for putting me at ease about the beastie, now I can watch the movie. :) Joyce jXwXeXrXmXoXnXt@sonic.net wrote in news:4483fae4$0$65442 $742ec2ed@news.sonic.net: > GIYF... > Get In Your Fun?

Is this an example of cat-ism? Or perhaps fur- > ism? Species-ism, maybe? :) Hey, one question for Pat. Did any disaster befall the cat in this movie? I'm thinking of hunting it down in a local video store, but I don't want to watch it worrying the whole time that the cat will meet a bad fate. So that's one spoiler I don't mind getting!

I loved Harry and Tonto. But at least Tonto was *supposed* to be male! How bizarre to use an obviously male cat to play a female. The least they could've done was use a long-haired cat. :) "Lassie" was also played by various male dogs, but you couldn't see their plumbing under all that long fur.

It appears this film was never released on DVD, only VHS, what a pity.
