Cat Ballou

A feisty and gorgeous Jane Fonda is a perfect accompaniment to this Easter Monday. Or even if young Jane has nothing to do with the rabbit holiday and even if this is far from her most-challenging role, she DOES headline a fun comedy-western where she gets some payback. And that's fitting since this is Revenge Month. Lee Marvin won the Best Actor Oscar for his dual role as the killer villain and the drunken "hero". Comedy performances don't often result in Academy Awards, so his win still stands out. Elliot Silverstein does a good job managing those tonal changes in what was his debut as a movie director. Anyway, Bev has the week off, so Ryan is working alone on this 504th edition of Have You Ever Seen. Spend a zippy 29 minutes hearing all about Cat Ballou, Cat Ball-ou-ou-ou.

Our podcasts have been going on our YouTube page (@hyesellis) as of January. Generally, the Monday shows have the two of us on camera chatting about the movie of that week (although not in this case), as we make corrections, recommend new movies we've seen lately and address listener feedback. To get in touch with us, hit us up on Twitter (@moviefiend51 and @bevellisellis) or via email ([email protected]). Ryan has another podcast. Sports films are the subject.
