Cat Ballou:
The sleeper hit of 1965, CAT BALLOU was declared an instant classic when its sly
blend of Western parody and rapid-fire action hit the screen.
Lee Marvin won an Oscar for Best Actor for his dual role as noseless (“it got bit off in a fight”) gunslinger Tim Strawn and as Kid Shelleen, the woozy, boozy has-been who goes up against him. Jane Fonda co-stars as Catherine “Cat” Ballou, the schoolmarm-turned-outlaw who teams up with Kid. Singer Nat King Cole and comedian Stubby Kaye also appear, singing the title song, “The Ballad of Cat Ballou”.
Fun With Dick and Jane:
Dick Harper (George Segal) is the perfect husband. He's got the perfect job and
the perfect wife, Jane (Jane Fonda). Things are so perfect for the Harpers that
they have just built a swimming pool in their backyard, using money they don't
actually have. Then Dick is unexpectedly fired from his job and the couple find
themselves deeply in debt. Dick starts looking elsewhere for employment, but
when he finds he has no marketable skills, he and Jane have no choice but to
turn to a life of crime.
The China Syndrome:
In 1979, THE CHINA SYNDROME was the movie everyone was talking about, thanks to
the enormous publicity generated by the real-life Three Mile Island accident
that not only mirrored the events depicted in the film, but occurred just twelve
days after the movie's release. Jack Lemmon, Jane Fonda and Michael Douglas
star in this powerful cautionary thriller about the dangers of nuclear energy
and the power of television news.
