Paint Your Wagon

Starring:Lee Marvin, Jean Seberg
Studio: Paramount
Product Type: DVD

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

Keep out of reach of children.......2007-07-02

I hate this movie. Boring plot, unlikable characters, horrible songs, obscene language, too many reasons why I hate the film. The filmmakers must've been out of their minds to produce this filth! Stay away from this trash, I mean it!

This DVD I received was flawed. I have tried to view it on 3 different DVD players and the picture breaks up every time. I really need to know how to return it.

Western Musical with ModernThemes.......2007-06-15

I was so happy when I watched this film for the first time because it was able to create both an entertaining story and one with a deeper meaning directed at society. It is much more scandalous than the Broadway version of this musical, but I think that makes its impact bigger. There are also very few musicals that exist that cater to both men and women. So, for those women out there who want to have a musical that you can watch with your boyfriend without him complaining that it is too girlie, then this a good choice. Enjoy!

Great entertainment.......2007-04-14

A wonderful western with a wry sense of humor. Where else can you hear both Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin sing solos? Not meant for very young kids but is hilarious with a great ending.

Ben,Pardner, and Elizabeth ..Make Three..For some Raucous Fun.......2006-04-20

In the gold-mining town of "No Name City"(Clint gets a name in this one but the town doesn't),Ben Rumson(Lee Marvin) and "Pardner"(Clint Eastwood)have a 50/50 relationship all the way. They split the gold they find, they pay each other's debt's off, and pick each other up from druken stupors. Pardner seems to be doing most of the work on that end of things though!

The town is filled with burly men, who haven't seen a woman in quite a while...That is until some Morman's come to town. The husband has one more wife than he needs and auctions Elizabeth(Jean Seberg) off to the men. The winner? Ben Rumson of course. But partners share everything you know...so Ben, Pardner, and Elizabeth become a trio.They just seem to fit right into this town without scruples.

The raucous action, the laughs and the wonderful music by Lerner and Lowe,Andre Previn, and even the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, are non-stop.There's the kidnapping of prostitutes to "improve" the town,a scheme hatched to collect lost gold,and a religious family comes to town that leads to some hilarious situations, and may change the whole atmosphere of the bawdy town.Some of the marvelous songs you'll be treated to(and may be humming for a couple of days after) are "Paint Your Wagon","No Name City", "I Talk to The Trees"(sung by none other then Eastwood himself), and "Born Under a Wandrin Star"(sung by Marvin)...Okay so Clint and Lee's vocal stylings are not my reason for giving 5 stars to this film!But you will be mesmerized by Harve Presnell's beautiful rendition of "They Call the Wind Mariah"!

The cast is as marvelous as the music and the story.In addition to the actors mentioned above you'll also find Ray Walston and Paula Trueman(Outlaw Josey Wales). It was expertly directed by Joshua Logan(Camelot/South Pacific). The cinematography is gorgeous and is also a big part of the story.Although the film runs 2:40, I barely knew the time had past. It was just too much fun!

Want to know what Clint's name really is in this one? You have to stay to the end to find out(sorry, they said "No Spoilers!)

Check for best price and availabillty on other editions.

Have fun with this one.....Laurie
