LAKEPORT, Calif. – The 1965 comedy/western, “Cat Ballou,” starring Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin, screens at the Soper Reese Theatre on Tuesday, Oct. 8, at 1 and 6 p.m.

Entry to the film is by donation.

First rate parody of the Western genre and a showcase for Marvin’s comedic talents which brought him an Academy Award for his portrayal of good guy/bad guy twin brothers.

The story's plot lines are cleverly linked by Nat “King” Cole (in his last film appearance) and Stubby Kaye, a pair of banjo strumming balladeers.

Fonda is the young and innocent title character who turns herself into a gunslinger in order to avenge her rancher father’s murder.

The movie is sponsored by Tomkins Tax Consultants. Rated G. Run time is 1 hour and 37 minutes.

The Soper Reese Theatre is located at 275 S. Main St., Lakeport, 707-263-0577, www.soperreesetheatre.com.
