Amazon.com:
This film and Hello Dolly were the knockout blows to the studio movie musical, but Paint doesn't deserve its tarnished name. Ben Rumson (Lee Marvin) takes the model of a rakish derelict to an unequaled high as a prospector who teams up with a greenhorn named Pardner (Clint Eastwood), and they both end up marrying the same scorned woman (Jean Seberg). No-Name City, the prospecting town they found, is Sodom and Gomorrah without the camels, and a vision of humanity left to its own devices. The songs are mostly wonderful melodies from Lerner and Loewe, with definite high points, notably 'They Call the Wind Maria' and 'Wand'rin' Star.' Clint Eastwood always gets flack for his versions of 'I Still See Elisa' and 'I Talk to the Trees,' but that scorn is equally undeserved. Perhaps Paint's biggest sin, in retrospect, was trying to combine the aesthetics of the musical with the aesthetics of the male protagonists' world-weary machismo. Not the easiest task, but Paint pulls it off. --Keith Simanton

Rating:  - Better than expected
Wow - this movie is wonderful on DVD and in Widescreen to boot. Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood and the rest of the cast are funny and downright entertaining. I can't wait to watch it again.

Rating: - Seller not not up front with return policy at time of sale
The seller did not disclose Region 2 as india/africa location for viewing. Seller did know the item was being shipped to California. In sales there is no reference to regions locations to view product purchased. Had I known that there were specific regions for videos or a graph showing the regions I may not have spent $30.00 plus dollars for a movie I can not view. When I asked to return product, I was notified that if it were returned unopened I could return it. How would I know that if on their ... Read More
Rating: - Paint Your Wagon
This is a great movie musical. Lee Marvin couldn't sing, but everyone loves, 'Wonderin' Star'. Clint Eastwood had quite a nice voice. The story line was hilarious. The acting superb and the dialog genius between the two men, Marvin and Eastwood. The young Quaker boy adds a lot of fun to the movie. This musical and 'Fiddler on the Roof' are my two favorite movie musicals.
