Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Steven Peros wrote the screenplay for 'The Cat's Meow' and shot this guerrilla-style with permits but minimal crew, blending real tourists and performers with actors.
The film transforms Hollywood Boulevard's kitsch economy—impersonators, star tours, costumed chaos—into a dreamlike purgatory where commerce and mythology collide.
