(Online $17.00)
Starring: Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin
1965; Rated R; Run-time 92 minutes.
Cat Ballou is one of the most original pictures ever made.
Lee Marvin's dual role as both Tim Strawn, a nose-less [It got bit off in a fight] gunslinger and as Kid Shelleen, the drunken has-been who goes up against Strawn at high noon. Jane Fonda co-stars as Catherine Cat Ballou, the schoolmarm-turned outlaw who teams with Kid to protect her father's ranch from a greedy railroad tycoon. Beloved by critics and one of the biggest box office hits of 1965, Cat Ballou is a marvelous spoof of Westerns--a precursor to films like Paint Your Wagon, Blazing Saddles and other send-ups of the genre and a one-of-a-kind comic classic thanks to the sure hand of director Elliot Silverstein.
