108 The Catman of Paris ( 1946 )

This  has  a  reasonably  intriguing  storyline  but  throws  in  too  many  red  herrings  and  has  to   resort  to  the  Talking  Killer  Syndrome  to  tie  everything  up.

Charles  Regnier  ( Carl  Esmond )   is  a  writer  returning  to  Paris  having  made  his  name  with  a  sensational  book  based  on  a  secret  trial. Charles  suffers  from  blackouts  and  when  a  government  archivist  is  murdered  and  slashed  he  starts  to  believe  he  may  be  responsible.

Lenore  Aubert  ( as  Marie  Audert )

Sex : She's  a  big  girl  but  it  all  stays  under  wraps

Death : Survives

Lenore  was  not  French  but  Slovenian  and  came  to  the  U.S.  as  the  wife  of  a  Jewish  refugee. Her  film  career  was  fairly  brief  and  after  a  couple  of  years  in  television  she  and  her  husband  started  a  garment  business  in  New  York. Her  second  husband  was  a  millionaire  and  thereafter  she  kept  herself  busy  with  charity  work. She  died  in  1993  aged  75.

Adele  Mara  ( as  Marguerite  Duval )

Sex : Some  nice  cleavage  on  show

Death :  Strangled  and  slashed  by  the  cat  man

Adele's  not  very  sympathetic  here  as  a  spoiled  bitch  .

Elaine  Lange  ( as  Blanche  du  Clermont )

Sex : No

Death : Survives

Elaine  had  a  brief  career  as  a  bit  part  player. She  died  of  breast  cancer  in  1963  aged  44.

Tanis  Chandler  ( as  Yvette )

Sex : No

Death : Survives

Tanis  was  born  in  Nantes, the  daughter  of  a  classical  musician. As  she  was  bi-lingual  she  dubbed  voices  in  more  films  than  she  actually  appeared  in. Her  career  petered  out  in  the  mid-fifties  and  she  died  in  2006  aged 81.
