Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
A Hollywood scandal springs to life in Peter Bogdanovich's lively Cat's Meow. In 1924 the immensely powerful publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst held a yacht party that ended with a gunshot. Between Hearst's influence and that of his glitterati guests (including Louella Parsons and Charlie Chaplin), no satisfying account of what happened ever made it to the public. The Cat's Meow reconstructs one of the more whispered-about possible scenarios and has quite a bit of fun doing so. Cast and crew alike skewer 1920s Hollywood decadence and, by extension, today's. Eddie Izzard is a boldly odd casting choice as Chaplin, but he succeeds, refusing to fall back on Little Tramp mannerisms. There are several other good performances, but best of all is the cool-as-sherbet Joanna Lumley as the deliciously jaded Elinor Glyn. The script is a strong one, never stooping to the excesses of its characters--Bogdanovich's take is far from the most lurid allegations of what happened that weekend. --Ali Davis

We'll never know what happened that mysterious weekend, and Bogdanovich gives us one viewpoint as to what happened. The cast is superb, as are the sets and score. For film fans, this is a treat. If you don't agree with the synopsis, that's okay. This is a great tale of what COULD have been.

Really enjoyed screening Peter Bogdonovich's 'A Cat's Meow' which was certainly not a disappointment.

I was happy with the performances - namely Eddie Izzard as the dashing and flamboyant Chaplin - and worthy direction but was hoping there could have been shots other than on the yacht...i.e. at the ...

If you think OJ invented getting away with it, watch this piece of history. It seems, there have always been a different set of rules for the affluent.

Does anyone know the song that's played at the end of the movie during the credits?

This movie was interesting. But what was up with casting Kirsten Dunst as Marion Davies? Nuh-uh. She is so unlike Davies it's like she's being someone else, some other flapper. But the movie was intersting with nice songs. But there's nothing like the good ol' 20s. I'd rather watch the real Davies in a silent than wallow around in this movie with weird portrayls of past stars, but that's just me, an old soul.
