This film and Hello Dolly were the knockout blows to the studio movie musical, but Paint doesn't deserve its tarnished name. Ben Rumson (Lee Marvin) takes the model of a rakish derelict to an unequaled high as a prospector who teams up with a greenhorn named Pardner (Clint Eastwood), and they both end up marrying the same scorned woman (Jean Seberg). No-Name City, the prospecting town they found, is Sodom and Gomorrah without the camels, and a vision of humanity left to its own devices. The songs are mostly wonderful melodies from Lerner and Loewe, with definite high points, notably "They Call the Wind Maria" and "Wand'rin' Star." Clint Eastwood always gets flack for his versions of "I Still See Elisa" and "I Talk to the Trees," but that scorn is equally undeserved. Perhaps Paint's biggest sin, in retrospect, was trying to combine the aesthetics of the musical with the aesthetics of the male protagonists' world-weary machismo. Not the easiest task, but Paint pulls it off. --Keith Simanton

My parents wanted this movie and it was rough to find. Amazon.com of course had it available and the price was awesome. Parents loved the gift and have given a list of more of their favorites to buy. Highly recommended.

His rendition of I Talk to the Trees is so bad it's pure genius comedy. Seems like the blond female lead is lip synching, why not this route for Clint?? Momentary insanity on the set. They Call the Wind Maria, however, is sung by one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. Campy, fun show and pretty scenery.
Great old movie March 21, 2009

I have always liked this movie. Most of the time I am not one for musicals and Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood are not known for there singing voices. But I think they pull it off very well and it is well worth getting this movie.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

The kind of film the word "curiosity" was invented for... February 28, 2009

This is a pretty crazy film, bordering between good scenes and turning into a "so bad it's good" movie. It was one of the last gasps of the musical genre, and having two lead actors, one of whom can barely sing (Eastwood) and one who couldn't sing at all (Lee Marvin's voice is terrible), didn't help matters any. It was also a deeply troubled production, with constant rewrites, reshoots, and a lumburgious editing process. Rumour has it that Eastwood was so irritated on this set that it made him the filmmaker he is today, in terms of his shooting technique. Eastwood shoots lean, on time, and on budget, and this film was anything but. There is some excellent cinematography thrown in here, the beautiful Jean Sedberg (who is pretty good), and some good songs not sung by Eastwood or Marvin (like They Call the Wind Maria). Marvin is fun to watch as the cranky prospector (when he isn't singing), and Eastwood is good as "Pardner" (he's never actually named in the film). Paint Your Wagon is definitely a curiosity, but at nearly 3 hours, it may not be a curiousity you want to investigate. Watch it, if you dare.

I always loved this movie. As a child, I remember my parents taking me to see it at an outdoor Drive-in theater. It is worth it to watch Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin sing (or at least try to). However, my favorite song from this movie is still "Mariah". I always get a chill up my spine when I hear it!
