The Queen’s Film Society presents Douglas Heyes’ “Kitten with a Whip” (1964) for its Cult Classics and Cold Ones screening.
When a troubled teenage runaway slips into the home of a respected political candidate, what begins as an act of pity quickly turns into a long, dangerous night. As her manipulations deepen and her delinquent friends close in, the situation spirals into a tense psychological standoff that threatens to destroy reputations—and lives. Equal parts noir thriller and mid-century shocker, the film is fueled by a fierce early performance from Ann-Margret and a mounting sense that the night is slipping dangerously out of control.
