Charles confides in friend Henry Borchard over dinner in Paris that he has made enemies among citizens and even in the government as a result of his controversial work. A librarian, Devereaux, is found murdered, clawed to death. Devereaux had been in possession of documents that supposedly could destroy Charles's reputation. When his former sweetheart Marguerite Duval is killed in a similar manner, Charles is beaten by townspeople and suspected by police. Marie Audet, who loves Charles and believes in him, is given a gun by Henry to protect herself. But when she saves herself at night by shooting an intruder, it turns out to be Henry, who with his dying words confesses to the crimes. Cast
ReceptionHal Erickson from New York Times gave the film a negative review, calling the film "stylish but pedestrian".[2] Allmovie also gave the film a negative review, complimenting the film's action sequences but criticized the film's sluggish plot, lack of atmosphere and suspense; writing "This anemic period potboiler from Poverty Row studio Republic Pictures cribs most of its sluggish plot from the far superior Werewolf of London, but has none of that film's drive, atmosphere, or suspense".[3]Brett Gallman from Oh, the Horror! gave the film a more positive review, writing, "The Catman of Paris is derivative but fine, possessing a really intriguing central concept that’s done little justice on a Poverty Row budget".[4] Leonard Maltin awarded the film one and a half out of a possible four stars, calling it "talky [and] routine".[5]References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.afi.com/members/catalog/DetailView.aspx?s=&Movie=24720 |title=The Catman of Paris |publisher=Afi.com |date= |accessdate=2015-11-17}} 2. ^{{cite web|last1=Erickson|first1=Hal|title=The-Catman-of-Paris - Trailer - Cast - Showtimes - NYTimes.com|url=https://www.nytimes.com/movies/movie/86845/The-Catman-of-Paris/overview|website=New York Times.com|publisher=Hal Erickson|accessdate=9 March 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=The Catman of Paris (1946) - Lesley Selander|url=http://www.allmovie.com/movie/the-catman-of-paris-v86845/review|website=Allmovie.com|publisher=Allmovie|accessdate=9 March 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Gallman|first1=Brett|title=Horror Reviews - Catman of Paris, The (1946)|url=http://www.oh-the-horror.com/page.php?id=1228|website=Oh the Horror.com|publisher=Brett Gallman|accessdate=9 March 2016}} 5. ^{{cite book|author=Leonard Maltin|title=Classic Movie Guide: From the Silent Era Through 1965|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6MIBDAAAQBAJ|year=2015|publisher=Penguin Publishing Group|isbn=978-0-14-751682-4|page=110}} External links
