‘You probably don't have to be a cat-lover to enjoy The Great Race — an excellent short film about a Yorkshireman who goes running with (and against) his one-eyed cat. Now he wants to make it a full-length film, but this is a mistake. Eight minutes of feline fun is about as much as any audience can take. Cats are like babies in this respect: endlessly fascinating to their owners, enjoyable only in short bursts for everyone else.
