DVD Description
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. Lee Marvin won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in his dual role as both Tim Strawn, a noseless ("it got bit off in a fight") gunslinger, and as Kid Shelleen, the woozy, boozy, has-been who goes up against Strawn at high noon. In accepting the award, Marvin said, "I think half of this belongs to a horse somewhere in the Valley," referring to the hilarious scene where Marvin and the horse both lean against a shed in a drunken stupor (certainly one of the most famous sight gags ever). Jane Fonda, at the height of her sex-kitten period, stars as Catherine "Cat" Ballou, the schoolmarm-turned-outlaw who teams with Kid to protect her father's ranch from a greedy railroad tycoon. Filmed in just 32 days, Cat Ballou went on to become one of the biggest box office hits of 1965, proving the popularity of the Western spoof. Singer Nat King Cole and comedian Stubby Kaye also appear in this wild and wooly Western comedy classic, singing the title song, The Ballad of Cat Ballou.

This is a classic comedy western adventure!. Sure to entertain all the family, even if westerns aren't your thing then I'd still watch it, just for the bit with the horse. I admit that Lee Marvin playing two roles is a little offputting but you get over it, if only because of the constant laughter!. All that confuses me is why wasn't this film been out on DVD earlier?

Classic comedy western, music by Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye, Lee Marvin at his best as a drunken gunfighter. Watch out for the scene where the horse has it's legs crossed.

I bourght this on video many many years ago and it wore out. I know its daft and technicolor had obviously just come out but it's great. You have to remember that it was made in 1965 and that its filled with some actors who made it HUGE. Yeah I love it, corney though it may be :)

So what ?
Such a deception ! How could they give an award to the late great Lee MARVIN for such a horrible "thing" ? That would be nothing but for Jane FONDA's talent and beauty !
