Description of Paint Your Wagon:
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
Paint Your Wagon Reviews:
One of the Four Greatest Movies Ever 
2009-12-18 - I saw this movie for the first time when I was 9 years old (i.e, after Snow White.) Pretty young and didn't really understand it ~ although I did appreciate the way my Mom and Dad were laughing! This became my Mom's favorite movie. She would watch it regularly. We all got hook, including a friend, who named his son Benjamin after Lee Marvin's character. It holds a special place in my heart! Obviously, it comes highly recommended.

2009-12-12 - I was pleased with the purchase and the timely delivery. I also found the price very reasonable. Thanks
one of the best musicals
2009-11-25 - I wanted the best quality for my money. I have never been dissatisfied. The movie is a great bargin.
The gold rush
2009-11-23 - Paint Your wagon is a great musical comedy about the gold rush, with some impressive starpower provided by Lee Marvin and Clint
Eastwood. Normally I`m not a fan of musicals, but I make an exception for this one. Marvin and Eastwood prove that they can play
comedic roles just as well as they can play the tough guy.
This film will have you rolling on the floor with laughter. There are many great gags all through the film, topped off by a mad
chase through a gold mine. A very angry bull drops into a drunken Lee Marvin`s somewhat illicit gold mine and the chase, and the
laughs, are on.

2009-11-16 - Bought this copy for my sister for Christmas 2009. I have had this movie for myself for years and years. I love the music in it and the story is funny.My sister borrowed my copy and had it for about 6 months and returned it to me so I thought I'd get her a copy for herself.
