Episode 212 - Paint Your Wagon
from Classic Movie Reviews Hosted by Matthew Johnson
“Paint Your Wagon” 1969 is a western – musical film. Director Joshua Logan faced multiple challenges including remote locations, cast members with differing ideas and styles, a ballooning budget, and studio anxieties. Mr. Logan needed his director experiences from films such as “South Pacific” 1958 (Episode 11) to complete this movie. Events occur at a gold rush mining camp full of lonely, wild miners. The huge cast is led by Lee Marvin as Ben Rumson the grizzled and hard drinking man of the open country, Clint Eastwood as “Pardner” the new best friend of Rumson, and Jean Seberg as Elizabeth the woman loved by both Rumson and “Pardner”. The film features over twelve musical numbers and both Mr. Marvin and Mr. Eastwood did their own singing. Please enjoy this crew.
