A raucous musical comedy, set in the Wild West, Paint Your Wagon is punctuated with a classic Lerner and Loewe musical score (from the original Broadway production), including "They Call The Wind Maria" and "I Talk To Trees." The story of a goldmining boom town full of brawny men centers on the work-and-play partnership of Ben and Pardner (Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood) alongside the rebellious Elizabeth (Jean Seberg).
A Michigan farmer and a prospector form a partnership in the California gold country. Their adventures include buying and sharing a wife, hijacking a stage, kidnapping six prostitutes, and turning their mining camp into a boom town. Along the way there is plenty of drinking, gambling, and singing. They even find time to do some creative gold mining.

Not a family movieHarve Presnell singing "They Call the Wind Mariah" is the best part of this musical about prostitution as economic development. They took some beautiful music, incredible scenery and smeared it with mud..Score: 1/5
One of the Best All Time Lee Marvin MoviesThis has to be my all time favorite for Lee Marvin and one of my all time favorite movies period. We always have this on at parties and during the holidays especially. Just the funniest stuff ever written..Score: 5/5
Ya gotta love...The classic schmaltz! Classic cinematography. Classic dialog. Classic Sterotypes! This was the way escapist movies were made when ideas were fresh, writers had talent, and no one had heard of re-makes and sequels. If you want fun, then watch this movie. And trust me, you'll be humming the soundtrack..Score: 5/5
Learner and Lowe: Need I say more?What can I say? Learner and Lowe are, in my opinion, the best collaborating team ever! While the movie strays a great distance from the stage version, it is very entertaining and retains such classics as "I Talk to the Trees" and "They call the Wind Maria", and "I was Born Under a Wanderin' Star". It is a must for any connoisseur of musical theatre..Score: 5/5
It's an Experience!"Paint Your Wagon" is worth watching for the singing - Harve Presnell (the FIL in "Fargo") singing - really singing - "They Call the Wind Maria;" Clint Eastwood's voice is surprisingly pleasant when he gets to sing. And Lee Marvin, well.... um.... he's got gumption!.Score: 3/5

A Critics Shouldn't Stop You From Enjoying ThisWhile it may not have been embraced by the crtitics, I found Paint Your Wagon to be great fun. Okay it has its faults but if you just sit back and go with the flow, or the gold-rush, I am sure you'll enjoy it. So maybe Clint Eastwood doesn't "make your day" as a singer, but, in context, it works. The bordello scene when the boy becomes a man is truly a classic movie moment. Rent it and you'll be talking to the trees in no time..Score: 4/5
