Lee Marvin is great, but how you gonna leave me thinking “that movie didn’t have very much Cat Ballou” in a movie called Cat Ballou? the poster, synopsis, and set-up from the first few minutes of this movie sell a very different movie than what we got (shoulda been called Kid Shelleen and Cat Ballou!) but Fonda is terrific as always and it’s still a very fun and easy watch!
miss cat ballou just wants to rob some trains and kill a few men and i think we should let her
Jane Fonda telling corrupt old men that “you can’t make me cry! You’ll never make me cry!” and then running around with four pussy whipped guys and saying shit like “you say you all love me but you won’t rob a train for me!” is the 2019 mood ladies
“Cat Ballou” arrived in cinemas at a time when next to nobody was taking Westerns seriously. The deeply silly film asked for no respect, and in return - became one of the most lauded entries of its entire genre.
Number ten on the American Film Institute’s Best Westerns list, folks!!
After “How the West Was Won” turned the frontier into a theme park ideology, and before Italian maestros brought spaghetti auteurism to the desert setting - there was “Cat Ballou.” A camp Western in the grand tradition of “Johnny Guitar,” the movie promised artful idiocy from its outset — melting the Columbia logo into a cartoon rendition of Jane Fonda’s title role.
In “Cat,” Fonda plays a schoolteacher turned outlaw,…
A substantial feature for summery 60s western fun, defined by its actors and sense of style. The story isn’t all that interesting or engaging and it is quite strange that Lee Marvin won Best Actor for this when he’s clearly in a supporting role, but the sheer classic aura and excellent musical numbers makes it worthwhile at best.
Does there exist any greater flex than to have your life story sung through musical interludes by a double-banjo toting Nat King Cole? Lee Marvin doing double duty as nefarious hired gun with no nose and sharpshooter turned town drunk is the icing on a rootin’ tootin’, Western-romp flavoured cake. When I wasn’t recovering from a bout of the tonal whiplash — I could have listened to CAT BALLOU’s rip-rollicking ballads 'till the cows came home.
Jane Fonda can avenge me for my sins any day.
With its poster of a gun-toting Jane Fonda and supposed revenge plot, I went into Cat Ballou expecting it to be a more traditional Western only with a female lead only for the movie itself to really be far more of a comedy than any action-driven picture. Admittedly, some of the jokes are quite funny but I do wish that the filmmakers had committed to making a straightforward Western with Fonda in the lead instead of a silly comedy that almost parodies the genre. The biggest problem with the film is that it takes an unreasonably long time for the title character to actually become an outlaw (nearly an hour into a 96-minute movie) and once it does, it still…

Hängen sollst du in Wyoming
Wolf City
Hierher kehrt Catherine "Cat" Ballou zu ihrem Vater zurück. Dessen Farm will die Developing Company, mit allen Mitteln. "Cat", der Indianer Jackson, ein Viehdieb und sein Onkel und der stets betrunkene Revolverheld Kid Shellen wollen das verhindern.
Western-Komödie aus den USA von 1965, der auf einen Roman beruht. Nat King Cole und Stubby Kaye begleiten die Handlung mit ihren "Musikstücken" und durchbrechen damit die "Vierte Wand.
Jane Fonda, Lee Marvin in einer Doppelrolle (dessen Charakter für mich das Highlight des Filmes war) und John Marley gehören hier zum Cast.
Von dem Film hab ich im vorhinein nichts gewusst, bin aber froh das ich ihn gesehen habe.…
I remember seeing this film as a kid with my grandparents and laughing my little socks off. As an adult however, this was actually a bit of a chore, and it would appear that I've decided which subgenre of the Western I don't like, the comedy Western! The tone is set early on with Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye serenading us about the irrepressible Cat Ballou, and how she's going to hang for her crimes. Unfortunately I'm unfamiliar with the novel that the film is based on, and I'm also quite surprised that this was as successful as it was, although I did know that Lee Marvin won his Academy Award or his dual role here as Kid Shelleen/Tim…
So are we ready to have a conversation about how Cat Ballou was in a lot of ways the blueprint for Kissin’ Kate Barlow or nah?
Cat Ballou started out SUPER strong for me but as the story went on, it became more and more of a bit of a let down. Not necessarily as a whole but with where Cat’s character went. In the end, Cat Ballou proves to be a perfect example of the Smurfette principle in action.
Even still, the film is a lovely time, lots of charm and vigor behind it. Young Jane Fonda steals the show from start to finish.
