Rhubarb (1951)
6/10
Wholesome catnip...
21 March 2009
A mangy yellow cat, formerly a homeless hellion who hung around the golf course, is adopted by a multi-millionaire financier who harbors a distrust of humans; after the man dies, the cat is named inheritor to the vast fortune--and also becomes the good luck mascot for the major league ball team the businessman owned. Likable, mildly funny fantasy-comedy for cat-lovers and baseball buffs doesn't have anywhere special to go after the set-up, though the cast is game and the feline is fun to watch. Ray Milland plays an employee who is named the cat's guardian, and he's in frisky spirits, as is fiancée Jan Sterling who's beset with the proverbial allergy. Laid-back non-achiever from Paramount could maybe use some bigger laughs (or even wit), but is otherwise handled quite smoothly. **1/2 from ****
