Directed by Elliot Silverstein
Cat Ballou is a 1965 American Western comedy film starring Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin, who won an Academy Award for his dual role. The story involves a woman who hires a notorious gunman to protect her father's ranch and later to avenge his murder, only to find that the gunman is not who she expected. The supporting cast features Tom Nardini, Michael Callan, Dwayne Hickman, with Nat King Cole (in his final film appearance) and Stubby Kaye, who together perform the film's theme song, in addition to appearing throughout the film in the form of travelling minstrels or troubadours as a kind of musical Greek chorus and framing device.
