This film is about cats--actually, one very clever cat. The title is a play on the French quatuor, meaning quartet, but the chorus is not the usual alley-cat variety. The cat in this film is talented indeed. He is both pianist and piano, trumpet and trumpeter and, if need be, even becomes the music--a pulsing rock and roll--or a whole swarm of alley cats.

A film of playful observation, without commentary, catching in a few simple animated line drawings the images people project of themselves in the way they dress or move. Different types of people--plump dowager, curvaceous dancer, kilted Scot, ancient Egyptian--all make their bid for attention, metamorphosing one from the other in surprising ways. Film without words.

A comic cartoon, without commentary, showing that not everyone who rises to the challenge of sport can be sure of success. Pictured is a man with middle-aged flab who tackles the whole range of contemporary sports--swimming, bicycling, golfing, gymnastics, jogging--with great eagerness but equal ineptitude. At a time when physical fitness is much on the public mind, Sports Challenge is a friendly warning that fitness is not necessarily an inborn trait.
