The Cat's Meow is an extraordinary look at a fateful excursion of 'fun and frolic' aboard legendary newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst's private yacht in 1924. This floating soiree brought together some of the century's best known personalities and resulted in a still unsolved, hushed up killing.

As Hearst (Edward Herrmann) and his lover, actress Marion Davies (Kirsten Dunst) set sail from San Pedro harbour early one Saturday morning, they host a small group that includes the brilliant but self absorbed Charlie Chaplin (Eddie Izzard), film poineer Thomas Ince (Cary Elwes), gossip columnist Louella Parsons (Jennifer Tilly) and eccentric novelist Elinor Glyn (Joanna Lumley).

The abounding witty repartee appears the order of the day... but deceit and deception are also on the menu.
