Long before Unforgiven deconstructed the Western, or Blazing Saddles lampooned it, 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. The framing device, two wandering minstrels, played by Stubby Kaye and Nat "King" Cole, are the maraschino cherries on the top of this Wild West confection. --Keith Simanton

The movie was in perfect condition and it was delivered within 5 days from purchase. Great communication between the seller and myself. Buy with confidence when buying movies from this seller.
possibly the funniest comedy ever! January 30, 2010

I worked my way through college in the sixties as a projectionist in a movie theater, saw hundreds of movies multiple times, and consequently became rather critical of their quality. Most movies couldn't hold my interest for even one viewing; Cat Ballou was the exception. This movie is well written, well cast, well acted and well directed. Lee Marvin was amazing. And how do you get a horse to lean against a building with its legs crossed? Cat Ballou sets the standard by which others should be judged.

I had never seen this movie. My husband wanted it. It is definately a classic and after viewing it I now see why he wanted to have this classic. Very well done. A nice addition to our DVD movie collection.
