Bringing down Baby

The Leopard Man

(1943)
Producer Val Lewton, director Jacques Tourneur, and a black leopard reunite, and there's even a bit of the atmospheric heavy petting of Cat People, but what this doesn't have is a Simone Simon or much of a story, particularly in terms of suspense about who is masquerading as a homicidal big cat.
