Cat Ballou
Cat Ballou
Cat(herine) Ballou's family farm is being threatened by the railroad. She sends for Kid Shelleen, finding him to be the drunkest gunfighter in the west. When her father is killed by the railroad magnate's gunman, she vows to fight on. Shelleen manages to ride sideways in several scenes, while minstrels sing the ballad of Cat Ballou in between scenes.

The use of music to move between scenes creates a more playful feeling for this Western melodrama. That feeling helps make some of the comedy funnier and more believable.
