| ''Paint Your Wagon'' is a strange case. The plot of the 1969 movie, starring Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood, seems to bear little resemblance to the 1951 Broadway musical. In the stage version, Ben Rumson, a crusty old miner, has a 16-year-old daughter, Jennifer, who falls in love with a Mexican prospector named Julio. in the film version, adapted by Paddy Chayefsky, Ben and a younger miner, Pardner, fight over the affections of Elizabeth, a wife that Ben has bought from a Mormon. Lerner & Loewe's original songs, like ''Wand'rin Star,'' ''I Talk to the Trees,'' ''I Still See Elisa,'' etc., are in the movie but often in a different context, and other tunes have been dropped in favor of new ones by Lerner and Andre Previn. | |

| Film critic Nathan Rabin's essay on the PAINT YOUR WAGON film is highly amusing and even thought-provoking. It's linked below. It's also included in his book MY YEAR OF FLOPS, in which he takes another look at some of the classic Hollywood bombs of the 60s through the 90s. The whole book is extremely entertaining and may actually make you consider reassessing certain films you may have long ago dismissed. Of special interest to this group might be his appraisal of the film version of MAME. I highly recommend it. | |
