Produced for RKO, one of the "Big Five" studios in Hollywood's Golden Age. RKO also produced King Kong and Citizen Cane, and co-produced It's a Wonderful Life.
Cat People is a slow psychological thriller credited for the first jump scare in a sound film. The jump scare technique is called the "Lewton Bus", named after Val Lewton who is the producer.
A classic femme fatale film.
