Cat Ballou (1965)
Cat Ballou starts off with Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye singing to the camera, alongside their banjos, telling the audience of the Ballad of Cat Ballou. It’s a perfectly adorable way to start the western comedy, and the singers return throughout the film to keep the audience company and sing a reprise or two.
Jane Fonda is the title character, the cutest little lady in the Wild West. If you’ve never seen a Jane Fonda movie, this is a great one to start with. She’s so cute, you won’t be able to keep yourself from grinning and giggling. While on the train home to her father’s ranch in Wyoming, she accidentally helps Michael Callan escape from the sheriff, so when she asks him to stay on at the ranch to help protect her father, he agrees. Her dad, John Marley, is dodging a hired gunman, and Jane does her best to hire bodyguards to protect him.
Lee Marvin won an extremely undeserved Oscar in 1965 for his dual role in Cat Ballou. He plays both the hitman hired to kill Marley as well as the drunken gunslinger Jane hires to protect him. Rod Steiger was nominated for The Pawnbroker that year, and once you’ve seen that performance, you might not ever forgive Lee Marvin for stealing his Oscar.
Nevertheless, Cat Ballou is a very cute movie, and a must-see for Jane Fonda fans. She’s two tons of cute, and I guarantee you’ll be humming the title song long after the credits roll!
