Somer,

Haven't seen it in years, but recall it having a cool Giorgio Moroder soundtrack.. The '40's original is famous for the decision to never show the "cat people" because the director was unhappy with the utterly ridiculous costuming.. It ended up making the film that much more tension-filled. I believe it was an influence on Spielberg for 'Jaws' in regards to building the anticipation of actually seeing the 'monster'...
