KAOS: Track Of The Cat

Film
Skool

This 50s Western stars Robert Mitchum, Teresa Wright and Diana Lynn, directed by four-time Oscar-nominated director William A. Wellman.

With the ranch’s cattle falling prey to the elusive killer cat, Curt Bridges and his snowbound ranching family are forced to confront the beast to save the family’s herd.

Co-produced by John Wayne, the film is based on the 1949 novel by Walter Van Tilburg Clark, and makes startling use of colour in cinematography by William H. Clothier (Wings).

A “beautiful and splendidly haunting Eugene O’Neill-style drama …It’s a really rich and strange movie, all deep, brooding emotion, mysterious atmosphere and astounding show of visual flair.” – Derek Winnert
