THE CAT BURGLAR is an hour long crime thriller that feels deservedly forgotten today. I wasn't sure if it was a Corman production or not but it certainly feels like one, minus that veneer of quality that Corman usually manages to add to his productions. The protagonist is an unscrupulous thief who finds himself in possession of some plans that bigwigs want back, and of course he's soon in a whole world of pain. This feels like an attempt to tell a 1940s-style film noir on a tiny budget, so it doesn't really work too well, but it is fun to see a production where the hero is so fallible and at risk from every angle.
