Every song from this movie is a bloody masterpiece. My family used to listen to the soundtrack on cassette in the car all the time...actually, I think we wore it out or lost it or something by now. =( I'm not sure whether the cassette melted, or got too close to a magnet, or what, but I'm pretty sure I need a new copy!
LOL, Clint Eastwood singing about his yellow fever. i dont know why this is so special, Clint isnt the first white man to be obsessed with asian women
Clint and Lee Marvin both actually sing in this film. It is amazing. Even if you don't like musicals this is still a film to watch! It has sex and lust and a plural marriage and greed and mining and prostitutes, and a bull running around. Hell, Just watch the damn thing..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
God that's just HORRIBLE singing !!!! hahahaha He's the greatest western actor of all time in my opinion , but he should've let somebody else do the singing- noticed that he never sang in another musical. hahahahaha His other 10 westerns were great though. Awful, awful , awful singing. lol
@loganachilles1982 He isn't THAT bad. But this isn't supposed to be a serious musical, notice how it is also a comedy, plus I my honest opinion I think that the raw sounds of the actors voices add a nice touch to the classic movie.
i grew up on this film, and i had the soundtrack memorized note-for-note years before i even saw the film. Mom and i swooned over Clint Eastwood, and dad swooned over Elizabeth Perkins (and acted like Lee Marvin).
He reminds me sooooo much of Hugh Jackman!!!!! They have something in common! Thats why Hugh has such a great response on screen!!! ;-) (well also because of his great talents!)
This is my most favorite movie! They went all out in creating a realistic gold mining town. The sets, costumes, saloons and habits of the miners. Did you know that there was an actual Horace Tabor, like the character in the movie? He came to the gold fields during the gold rush and later opened up an Opera House In San Francisco.
Ya know i remember as a high schooler going to see this when it was in the can and showing at the theater an i LMAO. I grew up around baker city and remember going with the folks to watch some of the filming they were doing outside of town. Good Memories:):):):):) here. And the movie one of the best musicals i've ever seen. All Star Cast. Eastwood and Marvin god bless him R.I.P i thought worked great together as a team. Thanx for posting!!!!!
My understanding is that musicals died BEFORE this came out. However as they had already filmed it they went ahead and released it. And yes, this is also one of my favourite musicals (along with Bugsy Malone).
I love this song. Goooold fever. its one of my favorites. The movie was great. Course... it has Clint Eastwood AND Lee Marvin, how can it not be great???
Old Clint aint making film in the quantity he was, but he is staring and directing some quality films these days, remember most of us would have well retired by his age.
Clint Eastwood is not just a great Actor-Producer-Director, But he's also good in both making music and occaisonally singing as well. He also sang in Honky Tonk Man, and Any Which Way You Can in the opening credits doing a duet with Ray Charles called Beer to You.
My favorite line "...cured of what we're suffering from and suffering from the cure." Brilliant. In my opinion Paint you Wagon was panned by the critics needlessly. This was a down to earth musical with down to earth singers. One of my all time favorites.
youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you rock! my dad sang in this movie. the men's choral voices are the "roger wagner chorale" of which my dad sang 2nd tenor. cool beans.
Well, he originally wanted to be a jazz pianist or a musician of some sort, but then the military drafted him during the Korean War (1950-1953) and Eastwood drifted into acting in 1954.
Eastwood did cut a couple singing records during his "Rawhide" days.
And Eastwood didn't sell it out, commercially, which would have been the easy move. The legendary writer Norman Mailer, one of the seemingly few Americans who viewed "Honkytonk man," wrote the following about it:
"It was one of the saddest movies seen in a long time, yet on reflection, terrific. One felt a tenderness for America while looking at it."
Yeah, "Gold Fever" is by far Eastwood's best song in this movie. It's almost as if he's singing a white man's blues here, hinting at his inner irreverence and misanthropic melancholy.
Eastwood originally signed on to "Paint Your Wagon" in 1967 because Paddy Chayefsky's original script indicated that the musical would be darkly revisionist. It didn't turn out that way due to dramatic script changes and unfocused direction, but "Gold Fever" may be a vestige of the original vision.
A darkly revisionist version of PYW would be fantastic! Now that you've said that, I think you can see traces of that here and there. The casting of Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin tells you something, to start with.
... precisely. With the original script and savvier, more channeled direction, the results with that casting could have been very intriguing, maybe even a cult film. As you noted, there are traces of that potential revisionism floating through "Paint Your Wagon," popping up on occasion.
