Scott B It's a splendid movie. A cat inherits a professional baseball team. Comedic hijinks ensue as the team is blessed with new luck and drive, becomes a contender, and jealous rivals for the inheritance kidnap the good luck charm (the cat) on the eve of the deciding game. No cats were harmed during the screening of the movie. FWIW: Although the movie is B&W, I believe the cat is orange. Hope this helps your enjoyment of this classic screwball comedy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Audience Member Saw it back in the 80s thought about it as I had named a cat after the movie! Absolutely cute black and white and if you love old movies this is the one, cat inheriting a baseball team! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best baseball movies ever. Academy Award Winner for Best Actor Ray Milland makes good work of what is there. Rhubarb the cat inherits the Brooklyn Loons. Hijinks ensue. Relax and enjoy a bit of nonsense. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review ashley h Rhubarb is a disappointing film. It is about rich, eccentric T.J. Banner who adopts a feral cat who becomes an affectionate pet. Ray Milland and Jan Sterling give terrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Arthur Lubin did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Predictable antics ensue when an eccentric millionaire dies and leaves his baseball team to his cat. Ray Milland was good as always, but if you want to see him in a comedic role a better choice would be "It Happens Every Spring", another comedic baseball film. The supporting cast was uniformly good, especially Gene Lockhart, Jan Sterling and William Frawley. Paul Douglas makes a cameo as a man in the park. Look for Leonard Nimoy in an early non-speaking role as one of the ballplayers. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
