Scene from Cat Ballou.
Stars: Jane Fonda, Lee Marvin, Tom Nardini, Michael Callan, and Dwayne Hickman
When hired gun Tim Strawn (Lee Marvin) kills her rancher father, Cat Ballou (Jane Fonda) becomes an outlaw set on vengeance. Enlisting the help of washed-up gunslinger Kid Shelleen (also Marvin) as well as the handsome bandit Clay Boone (Michael Callan), Cat strikes back at the land-development company that employed Strawn, and eventually targets the assassin himself. Adding to the lively comedic mood of the film are narrative song performances by Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye

Digital ReMastered Soundtrack...
He may not have had the best singing voice in the world but no one can better Lee Marvin singing "Wand'rin Star" from the hit 1969 musical "Paint Your Wagon"...
One of those songs that once heard never forgotten and no one else can sing it like Lee Marvin did...
Took the 2001 digital remastered audio CD release of the soundtrack and matched it into the movie... it's never sounded better...
