Film Details

Late cult actor Dick Miller first played Walter Paisley (a character name he would have again in five other films) in this delightfully demented horror comedy from the writer and director of The Little Shop of Horrors (their next film). Miller plays a hapless busboy at a beatnik coffeehouse that is frequented by artists, writers, and poets. He yearns to be part of the hipster “in crowd,” and finally succeeds when he turns a cat he accidentally kills into a sculpture “masterpiece.” But now he has to keep up appearances… “Miller’s finest hour.” –Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide. 66 min.
