Double Feature: BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S, 1961, Paramount, 115 min. Dir. Blake Edwards. When Audrey Hepburn’s girl-about-town Holly Golightly meets handsome nice guy George Peppard, she begins to gradually rethink her anything-goes, high-living way of life. With Orangey in the role of “Cat,” for which the marmalade-colored feline won his second Patsy Award (the animal kingdom’s equivalent of the Oscar). [35mm]
RHUBARB, 1951, Paramount, 94 min. Dir. Arthur Lubin. Two-time Patsy Award winner Orangey stars as Rhubarb, a kitty who inherits a sizable sum of money and pro baseball team the Brooklyn Loons when his millionaire owner (Gene Lockhart) dies. The team protests being owned by a cat, so the Loons manager (Ray Milland) must come up with ways of convincing the ball players that the feline is good luck. With Jan Sterling. [DVD]
