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 Actor in his dual role as both Tim Strawn, a nose less gunslinger, and as Kid Shelleen, the woozy, boozy, has-been who goes up against Strawn at high noon. Jane Fonda, at the height of her sex-kitten period, stars as Catherine Cat Ballou, the schoolmarm-turned-outlaw who teams with the Kid to protect her father's ranch from a greedy railroad tycoon. With Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye singing the theme, CAT BALLOU went on to become one of the biggest box office hits of 1965.
