I'm a big fan of the good ol' classic western movies, and few are more classic than this. It has the swearing unscrupulous bucktoothed villains, the dazzling yet self-protecting damsel in distress, and last but not least; the rather strange sharpshooting protagonist. I have yet to watch a bad Marvin Lee -movie, and this is without a doubt no exception. Actually, of all the ones to pick from, this is my favorite. This goes a tad beyond regular westerns; it has all the usual elements, plus a few humorous and to times peculiar ones. This piece of western art is fun for the whole family, even the graphic HD-craving youngsters will enjoy this one. All the statements above aside, the real reason I personally purchased this particular movie, is that I used to watch it 24/7 with my grandpa. Whether or not this title makes you all nostalgic like it did me, it is highly recommended to everyone.Read full review
Still a funny, well done movie. After 47 years it still stands equal to any modern movie made today. I stopped watching any of Hanoi-Jane's movies after '72, but Cat Ballou was done in '65 and I still love it. As well, knowing that Nat King Cole was dying while making the movie gives a poignancy to his great performance (along with Stubby Kaye's). And seeing Dwayne Hickman again (I loved "the Many Loves of Dobie Gillis"!)was icing on the cake. Lee Marvin won a BSA Oscar for his hilarious dual role, and as he was almost always a steel-eyed killer of men in his movie career, it was an amazing contrast and well done. That horse...!
THIS IS ONE OF THESE TIMELESS WESTERN COMEDIES... JANE FONDA WAS A BABE BACK THEN (LIKE SHE ISN'T A BABE TODAY) LEE MARVIN PLAYS 2 CHARACTERS IN THE MOVIE, TWIN BROTHERS, ONE A DRUNK EX-GUNFIGHTER AND THE OTHER A COLD BLOODED EVIL COLD BLOODED KILLER WORKING FOR THE BAD GUYS... LEE STOLE THE MOVIE DUE TO HIS HILARIOUS PERFORMANCE... THIS MOVIE IS DEFINITELY A COLLECTIBLE FROM MY GENERATION BUT THIS MOVIE IS TIMELESS, MEANING ANY GENERATIONS WOULD LOVE IT IF THEY WATCH THE MOVIE... THE MOVIE IS PG SO KIDS COULD WATCH... NO BAD LANGUAGE... NO DARK CHARACTERS (EVEN THE EVIL TWIN BROTHER DOESN'T TRY TO SCARE YOU BECAUSE IT IS A COMEDY... ANYONE ANY AGE SHOULD LOVE IT...

Cat Ballou has long been one of my favorite movies, but i had it only in VHS. Now that I have it on DVD, I love it even more.

This movie has been called a "Sleeper." However, it is one that will keep you laughing through the entire run time. There are some serious moments, but mostly comedy. Lee Marvin said at the acceptance of his Oscar, that, "The horse should have won instead." Lee Marvin and his horse are wonderful. This is probably the best movie that Jane Fonda ever had the opportunity to make bar none. This is the only movie that I have ever seen Jane Fonda truly use her acting skills. What a do not miss movie.
I AM HAPPY TO WRITE ABOUT THIS ONE. THIS IS A STORY ABOUT CATHERINE BALLOU WHO HAS GROWN UP IN A ALL GIRLS BOARDING SCHOOL. WHEN SHE GROWS UP AND IS GOING TO BECOME A SCOOL TEACHER SHE MEETS TWO BANK ROBBING BROTHERS ON THE TRAIN GOING TO WHERE HER FATHER OWNS HIS FARM LAND!

LEE MARVIN WHO STEALS THE SHOW WITH HIS HUMOR!!PLEASE TRY TO SEE THIS ONE, YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!! THE MUSIC HAS NAT KING COLE AND STUBBY KAYE!! HOPE YOU ENJOY!! THANK YOU!!! OAKLANDRDRFAN.......... CAT BALLOU!!!!!
Light hearted and fun, this one will have you coming back to revisit every once in a while. Lee Marvin did a masterful job of portraying the drunk gun fighter called upon to straighten up and save the day. Jane Fonda shows her considerable talent and focus in this delightful work. Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye add a dramatic musical touch not to be missed. Old style "entertainment" that lives up to the name. The special edition interviews are a plus adding history and background perspective you will want to see.
I saw this movie when I was a little girl I knew it was good but couldn't remember much now that I saw it again its a real good move where families can watch it together its super

Right up there with Blazing Saddles....Lee Marvin's two characters steal the show, but take away Lee Marvin, and it is still a great show-I loved it.
