Norman Tokar directed this science fiction comedy about a cat(named Jake) from outer space who crash lands on Earth and is forced to enlist the help of a physicist(played by Ken Berry) his girlfriend(played by Sandy Duncan) along with the Army(led by Harry Morgan) and a team of scientists(including McLean Stevenson) to help him repair his ship, and send him home, and courtesy of an advanced collar, Jake can talk! Of course, enemy forces(led by Roddy McDowall) want to exploit Jake for their own purposes. Interesting how the plot has similarities to later blockbuster "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial"; pity that this silly and contrived film has little of that films' intelligence and quality. Cat lovers may well be disappointed.(I should know!)
