Track of the Cat (1954)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 102m
Director: William Wellman
Cast: Robert Mitchum, Diana Lynn, Beulah Bondi
Synopsis:
Somewhere on the frontier a homesteader remorselessly hunts down a deadly panther.
Review:
Rich slice of American gothic, really another version of Moby Dick with a man bent on a self-destructive urge to seek out the evil he dreads in himself (the panther is never actually seen). The exteriors, when they come, are spectacular Rocky Mountain stuff but the transitions from the unconvincing studio setups are far too blatant. An interesting failure.
