Radiance Films has provided an exclusive trailer for its upcoming Blu-ray release of Dominik Graf's The Cat (1988), starring Götz George, Gudrun Landgrebe, Joachim Kemmer, Heinz Hoenig, and Ralf Richter. The release will be available for purchase in February.

Description: Two robbers hold up a bank and its employees demanding 3 million marks for their ransom. The police plot to storm the bank but are unaware the robbers have an accomplice on the outside, anticipating their every move. Genre master Dominik Graf specialised in crime films and The Cat is one of his greatest. A heist film of the highest order, it grabs you from its opening scenes and doesn't let go. Winner of Best Direction at the German Film Awards, The Cat is an undiscovered treasure and Radiance Films is proud to present it on Blu-ray for the first time outside Germany.
