I've always loved movies with cats, and this is one of my favorites, featuring handsome movie legend Ray Milland who's easy to take personality and comedy style fit perfectly with the whimsical plot. Mr Milland of course was an Academy Award winning actor, but Orangey, who plays the title character was a duel Patsy winner, being the animal equivalent to the Academy Award, lovely Jan Sterling and top flight Character actors William Frawley and Gene Lockhart add to the top notch cast, with early roles for Leonard Nimoy and Strother Martin thrown in add up to a lot of pluses for this film, plus some great one liners in the script make this one enjoyable romp. They probably couldn't, or wouldn't make a film like this these days, but that's the audiences loss. In this day and age the World could do with some feel good little movies like this, seek out the DVD if you can, it's worth it, especially, if you like feisty pussy cats!
