The Black Cat Movie Review 1941

Wealthy Henrietta Winslow (Loftus) has left her estate to her greedy grandchildren but only after her faithful housekeeper Abigail (Sondergaard) and all her beloved cats die. Naturally, strange and murderous events begin occurring. Not to be confused with the 1934 classic horror film of the same title.
