## Description

Ann-Margret stars as Jody Drew, a sweet, sexy psycho-babe on the run from the law. She's escaped from a detention center, stabbed a guard and burned the place to the ground. David Patton (John Forsythe) doesn't know all this. He's just a Senatorial candidate trying to do all the right things. But, Jody makes sure that all the wrong things happen. She twists poor David's life into a knot, first threatening him with a rape charge then, with a little help from her friends, kidnapping him for a Mexican joy ride. Kitten with a Whip is so hot it sizzles... so jazzy it swings. It's the cult classic of the century that'll suck you in and knock you out!

Review: The Long-Awaited Release Of A Purrr-fect Cult Gem !!! - Kudos to desertcart for releasing long lost titles w/ wonderful transfers in widescreen format - this is one of their firsts, and its`s a joy to behold, assuming you like 60`s cult flix. This was primarilly a drive-in release that didn`t get mass circulation when released, due to its subject matter, basically a home invasion by delinquent teens - parents were afraid of its influence on their young`ins. (The fact that we have a 40 year old man harboring a 17 year old girl wasn`t an issue back then...). This is one of those rare times when a low budget cult film becomes trancendant and elevates itself to an art form, kinda like Sam Fuller`s 'Naked Kiss' or 'Shock Corridor', partly due to the two leading actors, Ann Margret and John Forsythe, who add an element of class usually unheard of in these films. Ann Margret is on fire throughout. And you can`t help but feel sorry for John Forsythe as the film progresses, even though it was poor judgement on his part that instigated the entire affair. A tight, solid script didn`t hurt either. This one`s a joyride in a stolen car from start to finish, with a superb ending, a great soundtrack, marvelous performances, tension and humor, schlock and sophistication. And it holds up over repeated viewing, too. I can`t recommend this film highly enough to those 'in the know'. Grab yours now and enjoy...
Review: Excellent transfer of fun thriller - This is one of the first DVD-Rs in the new Universal/desertcart series, which is obviously modeled on the similar Warner Archives program. The burned disc is widescreen (1:85-1) and in anamorphic format. The print used for this transfer has few visual markings of any kind (other than a bathrobe with a herringbone pattern that "sparkles" in the first 15 minutes, which is an artifact that is sometimes caused by a sharp digital transfer). Overall, the image is in great shape and looks much clearer than the old VHS release). John Forsythe plays a modest, middle-aged senatorial hopeful whose estranged wife and daughter are out of town for the week. Into his home sneaks a troubled runaway teenager (Ann-Margret) whom Forsythe tries to help. Unfortunately, his friends, political backers, and in-laws have a habit of dropping by his house unannounced, and he really can't afford to be seen harboring an underage "bad girl." Ann-Margret eventually invites some young friends to party in Forsyth's San Diego home. Things go from bad to worse when the group coerces Forsythe to drive them to Tijuana. In 1964, this modest thriller was considered somewhat shocking, due to Forsythe's house being picked at random by disaffected, thrill-seeking youths. The movie opened theatrically, but didn't play much in the second-run "family" theaters that served suburban locations. It also wasn't shown much on TV either, and was considered rare for a long time. Now, the film is available again, thanks to the new Universal/desertcart.com promotion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pulp-Noir Falls Short of Classic Status
*by D***N on October 30, 2010*

Watching "Kitten With a Whip" I was reminded of so many other movies and genres. This is not to suggest that it's derivative but it's influences are apparent. Pulp Fiction. Film Noir. "Night of the Hunter". "Cape Fear". "A Touch of Evil". Despite these images the film is not the sum of it's influences. What the film lacks is any real artistry. The makers don't seem to understand or are unable to exploit the camp possibilities of the material they were given. That said, Ann-Margret clearly understood and when given the opportunity deliciously chews the scenery magnificently. Reading the other reviews much space has been devoted to Ann-Margret's turn here and rightly so but they was another terrific performance here. Little is said of Peter Brown as a philosophy quoting juvenile thug. I'm not familiar with any of Brown's previous or subsequent work but he takes advantage of what he's given here. "Kitten With a Whip" is regarded by many as a cult classic and in a way I can see it. To me, though, it was a missed opportunity.
