Cat Ballou (1965) (Jane Fonda, Lee Marvin) torrent

CAT BALLOU - 1965

Nominated for 5 Academy Awards. Won 1 (Lee Marvin - Best

Actor).

Long before Blazing Saddles lampooned the western, Cat Ballou

poked the genre in the eye. An altogether enjoyable comedy, the

film is full of small surprises, big laughs, and wonderful character

turns.

Catherine Ballou (Jane Fonda) is a schoolteacher until a hired thug

kills her daddy. To protect what she loves, she collects two petty

criminals, a wisecracking hired hand, and a hired killer, Kid Shelleen

(Lee Marvin). Unfortunately, Shelleen is a raging drunk who is so

inebriated and unsteady with a gun he literally misses the broad

side of a barn. However, Cat, has, as they used to say in those

days, a mind of her own, and she masterminds a spectacular train

heist that puts them all on the lam. Marvin won an Academy Award

for his role as the derelict Shelleen, and his performances (he

actually has two) are still topnotch and on target.
