"The Cat" is a 1977 film, a comedy that on many occasions is tinged with mystery in the story of two brothers, played by Ugo Tognazzi (Amedeo Pegoraro) and Mariangela Melato (Ofelia Pegoraro), who cynically do everything to have a building they own cleared of all the tenants in order to sell it for an advantageous amount.

The soundtrack of this film, directed by Luigi Comencini and produced by Sergio Leone, was entrusted to Maestro Ennio Morricone, who creates a decidedly varied score in which the engaging funk-rock of "Gli Scatenati" stands out in particular, worthy of the best Italian detective stories. The main theme initially evokes the unforgettable "Investigation of a citizen above all suspicion", but without the dramatic charge of Elio Petri's masterpiece and, like most of the other pieces, lives on folkloristic and popular atmospheres.

Special guests are Edda Dell'Orso on backing vocals and Oscar Valdambrini on flugelhorn.
