Directed by Upstairs, Downstairs' Alfred Shaughnessy and an early showcase for Shelley's smouldering talent, Cat Girl is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. As much a drama of human relationships and mental conflict as supernatural horror, Cat Girl tells the story of the battle for Leonora's sanity by her psychiatrist, Dr Brian Marlowe, with whom - prior to his present marriage - she was in love. Convinced that Leonora's condition is merely a manifestation of anger and jealousy toward her unfaithful husband, he urges her to enter a sanitarium; but can Leonora hope to escape the curse that has afflicted generations of her family?

Alfred Shaughnessy directs this 1950s horror starring Barbara Shelley as a woman who believes herself to be afflicted with a curse that transforms her into a deadly panther when aggravated. Inspired by the film 'Cat People' (1942), the movie follows Leonora (Shelley), who is tormented by her beliefs to such an extent that she is compelled to see a psychiatrist, Dr Brian Marlowe (Robert Ayres). Marlowe attempts to convince Leonora that she is merely suffering from a mental illness, but will events prove otherwise?
