Movies like this are generally not my thing, but being that I have a great love for cats I checked it out and thoroughly enjoyed it. Art Carney is great as an old man living in a NYC apt. with his cat Tonto, who must move when the building is being torn down. Life with relatives is not for him, he finds though, so through a series of misadventures he ends up hitchiking across country with Tonto. I was genuinely moved by the last 10 or 15 minutes, actually shed a tear or two, but the ending itself leaves one wondering exactly what happened with Harry. At any rate, a real joy, this one, for animal lovers and also for anyone that likes an old movie with no car crashes, explosions, gangstas, etc.!! Highly recommended.
