Paint Your Wagon

1969 · 2h 44m · Comedy, Western, Music

IMDb 6.6 Metacritic 50 RT 45%

Paint Your Wagon is a delightfully bonkers mess—a 1969 musical western that swings for the fences and mostly whiffs, but with enough wild ambition and boozy charm to make it entertaining junk food. The mediocre scores are fair, but if you're in the mood for pure 70s weirdness with Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood singing off-key, it's worth a tipsy late-night watch.

Plot

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.

Director: Joshua Logan

Cast: Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood, Jean Seberg, Ray Walston, Harve Presnell
