‘Cat People’ Movie Summary

Cat People begins at the Central Park Zoo in New York City. Engineer, Oliver Reed, strikes up a conversation with the Serbian beauty, Irena Dubrovna. He asks her on a date, and eventually, the two fall in love and wed. However, Irena has a dark secret. She believes she’s cursed just like the others from her town that causes her to transform into a panther when she’s sexually aroused. Therefore, she makes excuses to consummate her new marriage. Confused, Oliver sends Irena to the psychiatrist Dr. Louis Judd for treatment. Meanwhile, Oliver’s co-worker, Alice Moore, consoles him.
