Cat Ballou DVD

Jane Fonda is agreeably peppery and at the height of her sex-kittenish charms as Catherine Cat Ballou, a schoolteacher-turned-outlaw trying to protect her father's ranch from a greedy tycoon in the American Wild West. She enlists the aid of Lee Marvin, who portrays dual roles--one as a drunken old gunslinger trying to recapture his former glory, and the other as the man's twin brother, a rustler with a silver nose. This 60s-style western genre spoof became the biggest box-office hit of 1965 and earned Marvin an Academy Award for his twin performances. The film also features a cameo by inimitable crooner Nat King Cole, who sings the title song The Legend of Cat Ballou.
