Walk on the Wild Side-1962-Saul Bass’ greatest title sequence the predatory black cat stalking the night to Elmer Bernstein’s memorable, jazzy score

As an idea it's interesting: Harvey is the goodie-goodie lonesome cowboy in search of his one true love, Capucine, who has washed up in a New Orleans brothel called the Doll House run by Stanwyck, a lesbian practically chewing the bordello's soft furnishings in her lust for our heroine. Fonda as Harvey's moral-free sidekick and Baxter as a restaurant owner are both fabulous. Look out for the opening sequence and see if you can resist going out to buy cat food - even if you don't have a cat.
