The Curse of the Cat People

Although this sequel to Cat People (1942) is said to have nothing to do with the original film, in reality it is a continuation in the sense that the same actors (Kent Smith and Jane Randolph) play the same characters (Oliver Reed and Alice Moore) who fell in love at the end of the previous film. They are here married and have a daughter. Also, Irina (Simone Simon), who was the first Mrs. Reed, plays a prominent part in this story. However, this film has nothing whatsoever to do with the "cat people" of the original movie, nor with any curse. In addition, Elizabeth Russell, (Barbara), has an uncredited role in the first film. She speaks to Irina at the wedding celebration in the restaurant.

The photograph Amy finds in the drawer is seen in closeup to be a portrait of Irena. In long shots, however, it looks more like a wedding picture with one person in white and another in black standing side-by-side.
