Amarillo Rattler Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Find "Paint Your Wagon" on your favorite channel. Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood and Jean Seberg in the best musical/comedy 49er's ever!!!! Had me and Chey Chey skipping supper.

Waimea Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 You been hittin' the bottle again, Rattler? I ain't seen it in quite some time but I think the last time I did I swore off Western musicals for life. Waimea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'm with you Rattler. I love that film! Thought to late to grab Ben Rumson as my alias! " And where, HAHA, was your horse?" --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusta B. Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 That & "Cat Ballou" were two of Lee Marvin's finest. Forgive me for mentioning a movie with Hanoi Jane, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Yep....My favorite piece of trivia about Cat Ballou: The film's horse trainer told Elliot Silverstein that the scene where a horse leans against a wall with its front legs crossed could not be shot because horses don't cross their legs, then that it might be possible if he had a couple of days. Silverstein invoked his rank as director and gave him an hour. The trainer plied the horse with sugar cubes while repeatedly pushing its leg into position, and they were able to get the shot. I think his portrayal of Liberty Valance was also one of his best performances. The best bad guy I've ever seen in a film. --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Floyd Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I loved the song Mariah by Harve Presnell. Yusta you are forgiven this one time for using that name. S. Floyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tell Sackett SASS 18436 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 One of the few musicals I DO like! Along with 1776 and .... ummm, I'm thinking..... I like the fact that Clint and Lee aren't professional singers, like Harve. Seems more authentic somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Pat Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Lee Marvin received Academy Award for Cat Ballou. Lee and Clint's singing voices are the worst I ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Western musicals?? The only one I ever watch is "Annie Get Your Gun". Sort of a western and absolutely hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusta B. Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I thought both sounded appropriate for 19th century gold miners. They weren't portraying recording artists.... Just my view .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Interviewed on NPR, Marvin said that the song (Wand'rin Star) was a hit in Australia, and someone there described it as, "The first 33⅓ recorded at 45." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
