<em>'Cat & Mouse'</em> isn't terrible, but it isn't anywhere near good either. Of course, there wasn't any big expectations that I held coming into it, but B movies can still offer entertainment. This Paul Rotha picture? Not so much, for me anyway. It's all rather dull. Lee Patterson and Ann Sear ... s play lead, both are alright. Patterson is the better, even if his character is more there for his style than any substance; looks straight out of <em>'Grease'</em>. Hilton Edwards, despite chewing the heck outta the scenery, is my standout from this. I did like seeing bits of 1950s London, mind you. I know it's only because I'm looking at it through modern eyes, but there is something about seeing this general era of England on film that I do enjoy. That's the only true positive I have, which probably says it all in regards to how I view this film.
