Review of Kitten with a Whip (1964) by Christopher S — 13 Apr 2010
Ann-Margret's over the top energy and John Forsythe's stodgy befuddlement play an excellent counterpoint in this extraordinary campy pulp drama. For all its B-movie bravado, this is really some sharp filmmaking from writer-director Douglas Heyes, with some expertly-crafted suspense, great moody black and white photography by Joseph Biroc, and a simmering jazz score (some of it lifted from Henry Mancini's score for 'Touch of Evil').
A strange, sexy cult masterpiece.
