Ben... Cat People is one of the films put out by Val Lewton... hence, it falls under the ones I mentioned under his name; these also include
Curse of the Cat People,
Isle of the Dead,
Ghost Ship,
I Walked with a Zombie,
The Leopard Man,
The Body Snatcher, and
Bedlam.... Essentially, at that period, the producer directed the director, and Lewton taught Tourneur, Robson, and Wise how to direct a film... something they've all been more than happy to acknowledge. It was Lewton who insisted on the suggestion rather than blatant display (in large part because of budgetary restrictions, but also because he had the good sense to recall being told stories, and how much more effective they were at evoking your own terrors than anything that could be put on the screen....)
