Cat Ballou     (1965.  1 hour, 37 minutes)

Catherine Ballou (Jane Fonda) is a schoolteacher until a hired thug kills her daddy. To protect what she loves, she collects two petty criminals, a wisecracking hired hand, and a hired killer, Kid Shelleen (Lee Marvin).  Unfortunately, Shelleen is a drunk who is so inebriated and unsteady with a gun he literally misses the broad side of a barn. However, Cat has a mind of her own, and she masterminds a spectacular train heist that puts them all on the lam.

Marvin won an Academy Award for his role as the derelict Shelleen.
