Elliot Silverstein’s influential comedy western starring Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin. Catherine ‘Cat’ Ballou is visiting her rancher father Frankie when she learns that a corporation is aggressively intent on snatching his lands. Realising her father needs some serious protection, Cat gathers together a small group of people for the purpose, and also hires the once-notorious gunfighter Kid Shelleen. But she soon discovers he’s now no more than a permanently sozzled drunk, and unlikely to be of any use against the mean killing machine Tim Strawn, who is in the developers’ pay. But, as things take darker turn, Cat finds the strength and determination to fight back, by any means necessary. With its mix of daft comedy, songs and classic revenge-western theme, the film is great fun – and it’s difficult not to imagine that it provided the creative spark for Mel Brooks’s Blazing Saddles a decade later. Also starring Nat ‘King’ Cole., Cat Balou’s family farm is being threatened by the Rail Road. She sends for Kid Shelleen, finding him to be the drunkest gunfighter in the west. When her father is killed by the rail road magnate’s gunman, she vowes to fight on., Glorious comic western as Cat Ballou fights off the rail road from destroying her family farm, alongside the drunkest gunfighter in the west.

In her quest for the killer, the teacher enlists the help of two crooks, a Native American farm hand, and a one-time fearsome gunslinger who is now a hopeless alcoholic. Lee Marvin won an Oscar for his dual performance as the hired gun and his drunken brother.
