Cat Ballou
It's That Way-Out Whopper Of A Funny Western...A She-Bang To End All She-Bangs!

A lighthearted, irreverent Western comedy that subverts genre expectations through a plucky female protagonist and a bumbling hired gunman, driven by playful energy and charm rather than genuine menace.
A woman seeking revenge for her murdered father hires a famous gunman, but he's very different from what she expects.
