Stream Benedict Cumberbatch's 'The Electrical Life of Louis Wain' on Prime

It's strange to think about these days, but there was a time when cats weren't thought of as lovable pets, but rather as mouse hunters at best and pests at worst. Their public image has obviously changed significantly over the centuries, and one figure who had a hand in this change was the British artist Louis Wain. Wain saw great fame in Victorian-era England for his many cat cartoons, turning the humble feline from a vicious predator into a beloved and ridiculous member of the family.
