A series of unlikely coincidences convinces elderly wife Louisa (Wendy Hiller) that a stray cat is the reincarnation of music composer Franz Liszt. It reactsc favorably to Liszt pieces performed by the woman on her piano, and runs away from Schumann and Bach. A neat kicker was when the cat knocked over and broke a handful of statuettes of famous composers, leaving only the Liszt bust unharmed. Her husband Edward (Joseph Cotten) can't be convinced however, and in fact, hates the cat so much he's willing to do it bodily harm to remove it from the premises. This has one of those jump to conclusion finales in which Louisa acts to enact her raging revenge on Edward, only to have the cat saunter it's way back into the house after it's too late. I didn't stick around to see if the Tabby got a screen credit for it's appearance, which would have been well deserved. Did you ever try to get a cat to do even one thing that this feline had to do over the course of the episode?
