''The Cat's Meow'' is a 2001 drama film directed by Creator/PeterBogdanovich, and starring Creator/KirstenDunst, Creator/EddieIzzard, Creator/EdwardHerrmann, Creator/CaryElwes, Creator/JoannaLumley and Creator/JenniferTilly. The screenplay by Steven Peros is based on his play of the same title, which was inspired by the mysterious death of film mogul Thomas H. Ince.
The film takes place aboard publisher William Randolph Hearst's yacht on a weekend cruise celebrating film mogul's Thomas Ince's 42nd birthday in November 1924. Among those in attendance are Hearst's longtime companion and film actress Creator/MarionDavies, fellow actor Creator/CharlieChaplin, writer Elinor Glyn, columnist Louella Parsons and actress Margaret Livingston; the celebration, however, ends in an unusual death, which would go on to become subject of Hollywood folklore.
