At least three of director Jacques Tourneur's films - Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie and The Leopard Man - are recognized as horror classics. This insightful critical study examines each of Tourneur's films, as well as his extensive work on MGM shorts (1936-1942) and in television. What emerges is evidence of a highly coherent directorial style that runs throughout Tourneur's works.
