Summary

"Well now friends just lend an ear, for you're now about to hear ... the ballad of Cat Ballou!" On this week's episode of We Really Like Her!'s FONDAVISION miniseries, Danita and Emily ride into Wolf City, Wyomin' to hang with the infamous Cat Ballou. How did this zany, 1960s comedy-western (a favourite of Bryan Cranston and the Farrelly Brothers?) get away with giving Lee Marvin two scenery-chewing roles while Jane Fonda (who played the *titular* Cat) an underdeveloped one? Would it have been better as a full-fledged musical with Jane singing alongside the late, great Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye? And which young starlet could play Cat in a reboot where, hopefully, the so-called "wildest gal in the West" actually takes the reins?
