"A buoyant western satire....Lee Marvin is great in two roles..."
Product Description:
Fonda is agreeably peppery as a teacher in the Old West who wreaks vengeance on the men who murdered her father. Marvin enlists as a drunken old gunfighter trying to retain his old glory and also portrays his twin brother, a rustler with a silver nose. A 60s-style genre spoof with enough action to keep it real. Marvin won an Academy Award for his two performances.
Plot Synopsis:
In this spoof of the Western and the Old West, a young schoolteacher, Cat, and her gang wreak vengeance on the men who murdered her father. They hire a drunken old gunfighter, trying to retain his old glory, to help them with the cause. Together they set out to get even with an English lord who's responsible for the death of Cat's parents.
