Cat and Mouse is one of the best detective films I've ever seen. I agree with the poster who suggests this would be a great film for someone to restore and re-release. As it is written and directed by the incredible Claude Lelouch, I am surprised that it is unavailable. I'd love to be able to buy a copy of it, so I can stop searching every old video retailer in every city I visit, hoping that I'll find this jewel.
The photography is excellent, as is the pacing of the film. As the viewer, you're both rooting for the "Lechat", the detective (Serge Reggiani) to solve the case, and, at the same time, you hope he doesn't.
The beautiful, sophisticated and classy Michele Morgan is perfectly cast as the wife of the murder victim.
