    A western musical starring a singing Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin. Very over-the-top wacky. Lots of free love. They kidnap women for their brothels. Our two heros fall for the same woman so they decide to "share" the marriage. Throughout the film they shun God and run the decent folk out of town. Made in 1969 when ideas about sticking it to the man and anti-establishment was the new hip thing.

    OK granted, this belongs more in a comedy section than a western section, but its hard to exclude from a list of Eastwood's most memorable movies.

    Lee Marvin and Clint Easywood sing and they don't make a bad job of it. Great songs and a great story that is often hilarious.

    Strange comedy western musical. It's about two men mining for gold. One buys a woman. She decides she wants both men. Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood both sing in this. Marvin does a better job. Both of them show their talent for comedy. Great songs even if the singing isn't. A real treat.

    What a strange combination of actors: Marvin and Eastwood in one movie. The old movie-hero meets the new in a hilarious persiflage of the Goldrush. The kind of movie that makes you wish you were there... Sadly enough, history was nothing quite like it. Some people annoy themselves at the musical interludes in the movie, but I'm not one of them. "Do I know where hell is? Hell is in Hello!"
    Most bladder-dangerous moment from laughter? That must be the one where the bull falls into the underground tunnels and wrecks the complete town.
    "I was born under a wandering star!" I mean, who but Lee Marvin could have performed that kind of song?
    If you haven't seen it, you haven't seen anything yet. Add it to your wish-list, folks!

    The singing talents of Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin are debateable, but "Paint Your Wagon" is an enjoyable musical which mocks several conventions of the Western genre. It's silliness and great length will probably drive some viewers away, however.

    While it is weird having Clint Eastwood sing I still enjoy the songs and Lee Marvin's voice is definitely unique.

    Cheesy, bawdy 1969 musical centering around No Name City, a Cali frontier Gold Rush town and the partners Ben Rumson (hilariously played by Lee Marvin) and "Pardner" (Clint Eastwood). When a mormon polygamist comes thru town, he is forced to give up one of his wives, who is then auctioned off to the drunken Ben Rumson. Things get tricky when Pardner falls in love with Elizabeth (Jean Seberg) too, and when they let a pioneer family stay at their homestead. Ben and Pardner team up with Mad Jack (Ray Walston-Mr. Hand from Fast Times) on an easy way to get gold, with disasterous results! Pretty long movie but it has an intermission. Some of it was filmed in Oregon. Cute romp, worth watching just to see young Clint and Lee sing!

    See for the weirdness of seeing Eastwood & Marvin singing. It's just plain weird. But Presnell singing "Mariah" is truly a treasure.

    Laughed and laughed at the whole idea behind this one. Times must have been hard in the old west (when it was all new) but rough wiskey and a panful of gold did the trick for most men. Not our two main men though, they needed something sweet to cuddle on those cool nights, check it out and sing along to some well known toons too!

    I'm not a fan of musicals, but this amiable western is full of slapstick drunken brawls and affable cowpokes, semi spoofing the genre. Imagine a romantic Cat Ballou with songs...?! Plus Lee Marvin and Clint are great together.

    It's very good. Good music, funny story, well acted. I think this might be my favorite performance by Lee Marvin in anything. The film is too long.

    It's not a great musical to begin with, but Eastwood should give back on eof his Oscars for singing in this.

    One great spaghetti western. None of them can really carry a tune and that makes it all the more endearing...lol

    Great western musical. Great western musical. Where else can you hear Lee Marvin & Cline
    Eastwood sing. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band play a number of songs in the
    movie. It is funny movie and there is good music from the movie
    especially the "They Call the Wind Maria" sung by Harve Presnell as
    "Rotten Luck Willie" I remember watching this movie as in back as a
    kid, in back of the family station wagon in a Drive-in. The movie is
    good clean "dirty" fun.

    As in "Two Mules..", Clint (and Lee Marvin) explores the funnier sides of the wild west. Pretty good, and funny. The song "Wanderin' Star" with Marvin is a classic! ..I really gotta see it again.

    I have gotten a lot of guff for this movie, but despite the fact that it is a western and a musical featuring a singing Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin, this is really a hilarious movie.

    Another one of my favorites! I sang one of the songs from this movie, to my young baby girl, ... 'they call the wind Maria'. Although we spelled it differently...Moriah, it was pronounced the same. She loved the song, and would always fall sound asleep. Beautifully sung by Harve Presnell.

    Very strange. It was confusing at the start, and didnt get any less so thoughout, but on the plus side, you get to see Clint Eastwood sing!
