He Loved Her So. I recall searching for details about this film because I think another movie mentioned in the book (The Yearling) does exist "” it even won an Oscar in 1947. Pantomime Cat was written in 1948 or 1949, so it makes chronological sense.

However, I couldn't find any references to He Loved Her So, which was perhaps a figment of Blyton's imagination. It was a soppy-sentimental tale according to John James... no wonder Kitty loved it.
