Reviews:

Paint Your Wagon is a classic musical set in the mountains of California. A Great cast and pure entertainment. Despite the generally silly plot, the movie provides fun spirited viewing. Besides who knew that Clint Eastwood could sing (well sort of).

2hrs 40mins… 160 whole minutes… Why?

What an absolute bore, and a waste, ‘Paint Your Wagon’ turns into. Why did they make this so long? The plot needn’t be that extended, the music doesn’t carry it either. It has a few decent parts, but they are surrounded by excess fat.

Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood and Jean Seberg stopped me from hating this, I will say, because that trio are all solid despite the aforementioned. It’s amusing, at first anyway, to see Marvin and Eastwood sing, as they aren’t the types you’d expect to do so. I’m not saying they can sing per se, but it’s comically positive – which is the film’s intentional, after all.

I wish it was shorter, you could easily take an hour off this and not lose anything. It’s a right drag, unfortunately.

Ignore the Flaws and Enjoy the Fun and the Music
Released toward the end of the era of big-budget musicals, “Paint Your Wagon,” with a tuneful score by Lerner and Lowe, was maligned by critics for its bloated production, non-singing leads, and clunky direction. However, more than four decades later, the film remains a guilty pleasure for many and offers enough entertainment to please most. However, while director Joshua Logan may have shown genius directing stage musicals, his work on film falls flat. His screen musical adaptations, “Camelot,” “South Pacific,” and this film were all directed with a heavy hand that failed to capture the stage magic in their transition to the screen. Vastly revised by Alan Jay Lerner and Paddy Chayefsky from the original Broadway production, “Paint Your Wagon” is set during the California Gold Rush, where two unlikely men partner up and share everything, eventually even a wife. Although most of the bawdy aspects are suggested rather than shown, the menage-a-trois at the core of the film may have been too adult for family audiences in the late 1960’s, and extolling the virtues of prostitution for a virtually all male town is also quite adult.

Although cast largely with non-singers in the tradition of such other screen adaptations as “My Fair Lady” and “Camelot,” there is little damage to the songs, because many are choral numbers, and the show’s best song, “They Call the Wind Maria,” is sung by an accomplished Broadway musical star, Harve Presnell. Clint Eastwood has modest singing skills; his voice is not bad, his rendition of “I Talk to the Trees” is acceptable, and, to be fair, he did record an album of western songs at one point. Jean Seberg’s voice was dubbed, but she is colorless in the lead female role; a Shirley Jones would have been stronger both vocally and dramatically. For a woman supposedly in love with two men, Seberg generates little heat or chemistry with her co-stars. Lee Marvin is appropriately colorful, although his voice is gravelly and rough, and he seems to be reprising his “Cat Ballou” performance. While the choreography has also been criticized, the sight of a group of scruffy miners breaking into perfectly synchronized dance steps like “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers,” would look ludicrous.

Admittedly “Paint Your Wagon” is over long and over produced; a silly prolonged climax that consists of endless special effects may have been intended for laughs, but it falls flat. However, despite much to justifiably criticize, the music is captivating, most of the performances are fun to watch, and the movie is often just plain fun.
