Brilliant and touching

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

And Eastwood belting out sappy love songs is an 11! This is a must see show. It has outstanding tunes, a great cast AND you will shake with laughter in your golden calf, ankle, thigh and upper half.If you're looking for something different, here it is. I mean, here it is! It's really all about the soundtrack for me but you have to see the show at least once. I can watch this every year but I can listen to the soundtrack daily.

Paint your Wagon (1969)Plot In A Paragraph: Ben and Pardner (Lee Marvin and Eastwood) two unlikely prospector partners share the same wife (Jean Seberg) in a California gold rush mining town.It's 4:50am in the U.K. And I have just finished watching Paint Your Wagon. Paint Your Wagon is such a bad movie, it doesn't even inspire me to write a review.I like musicals (Les Miserables, Sweeney Todd, Grease, Sound Of Music and The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas are amongst my favourite movies) and I don't mind long run times, but when they are done so poorly, as is the case here, it becomes painful and unbearable. Only Lee Marvin (rumour had it he was drunk every day) emerges with any credit, as he at least brings the odd smile. Like the scene where he takes a farm boy to a prostitute "I'm giving you a boy, give me back a man" Paint Your Wagon amazingly became Eastwood's highest grossing movie, collecting $31 million at the domestic box office, ending the year the 6th highest grossing movie of 1969.

Just watched this movie for the first time since the 70's. What a light hearted and wonderful blast from the past. I have always been a massive Clint Eastwood fan, and a big Lee Marvin fan, so this was a double treat. Clint was good in this, but Lee Marvin was brilliant! All round great movie for me and my wife, and her parents love this movie also!The songs were original and entertaining, but Lee Marvin's " Wandering Star" is a classic, and probably the main reason why i decided to purchase the DVD for a second viewing. So glad I did. The laughs were frequent and often subtle. The theme was slightly irreligious,but isn't that a treat? Another Clint Eastwood classic to add to my collection!

"Paint Your Wagon" is based on the 1951 Broadway musical of the same name, but for the usual reasons the plot has been altered somewhat. Also, it would not have been possible to portray a ménage à trois on stage in 1951.Having said that, there isn't a great deal to the plot: prospectors during the California Gold Rush erect a new town called No Name City. Before that though, with four hundred men and no women at all...then two women arrive with their husband - singular. What happens next is far from edifying, and it is a little surprising that third wave feminists haven't organised a worldwide boycott of the video.Nevertheless, this is primarily a musical, and although most of the songs are not particularly strong, they are certainly passable, the two exceptional ones being "They Call The Wind Maria" and "Wand'rin' Star", the latter of which was performed by the gravelly voiced Lee Marvin and was a surprise number one hit in the UK.
