Paint Your Wagon: Difference between revisions

This flick had all the aspirations of a major blockbuster, but there were two problems. Firstly, Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin can't sing. Secondly, by the time it was released big budget musicals were on their way out. Sure enough, it bombed at the box office. This was the last film to be directed by Joshua Logan.

 

 

* [[All Men Are Perverts]]

* [[Crowd Song]]

* [[The Cassandra]]: The Parson's warnings about the town being swallowed up by sin.

* [[Fashion Dissonance]]: Very much averted with the local hippies who were used as extras for the film (this ''was'' made in [[The Sixties]], remember). Their clothes and hair were already so in tune with the Gold Rush aesthetic that they didn't even need costumes or makeup.

* [[Forty Niner]]/[[Prospector]]: Most of the characters.

* [[Gold Fever]]: The motivation behind most of the hilarity that ensues, especially for Ben Runsom.

* [[No Womans Land]]

* [[Polyamory]]: Well, they tried it, at least.
