Desc: Le chat: Directed by Pierre Granier-Deferre. With Jean Gabin, Simone Signoret, Annie Cordy, Jacques Rispal. In 1971 Courbevoie (France), former typographist Julien Bouin and his wife Clemence, who used to perform in a circus, hardly talk to each other in their small house, which is soon to be demolished. To Clemence's anger, Julien's cat Greffier is the only one who gets his attention, let alone love.
