Cat Ballou

(from the back of the dvd)

The sleeper hit of 1965, CAT BALLOU was declared an instant classic when its sly blend of Western parody and rapid-fire action hit the screen.cat ballou 2

Lee Marvin won an Oscar for Best Actor for his dual role as noseless (“It got bit off in a fight”) gunslinger, Tim Strawn, and as Kid Shelleen, the woozy, boozy has-been who goes up against him. cat ballou screen shot

Jane Fonda co-stars as Catherine “Cat” Ballou, the schoolmarm-turned-outlaw who teams up with Kid.  Singer Nat King Cole and comedian Stubby Kaye also appear, singing the title song, “The Ballad of Cat Ballou”. cat ballou screen shot 2

This wild and wooly adventure is “the ultimate American spoof of the American Western.” (Judith Crist)
