and the Old West, a young schoolteacher, Cat Ballou (Jane Fonda),
and her gang wreak vengeance on the men who murdered her father.
They hire a drunken old gunfighter (Lee Marvin), trying to retain

a sinister, silver-nosed gunslinger in a dual role.) Together
they set out to get even with an English lord who's responsible
for the death of Cat's parents. Academy Award Nominations: 5,
