"What the hell is going on in my town?" "We're just painting this wagon, you got a problem with that?" "As a matter of fact I do... you missed a spot." "Well, grab a brush and join in!"
Watching Lee Marvin in this movie is like watching Christopher Walken in The Country Bears. You can't help but laugh at how committed they are to the role.
From what was thought as just a Simpson’s joke, to realizing this was a real Thing, to Snob finally reviewing it, this does feel a full circle journey we all have been waiting for and never realizing it, Thanks Snob! 👍
Mrs. Fenty: You should read the Bible, Mr. Rumson. Ben Rumson: I have read the Bible, Mrs. Fenty. Mrs. Fenty: Didn’t that discourage you about drinking? Ben Rumson: No, but it sure killed my appetite for readin’!
“And what the HELL is going on in my town?” “We’re just painting this wagon. You got a problem with that?” “As a matter of fact, I do. … You missed a spot.”
Fun fact: Lee Marvin said on a talk show at the time that he was knock-kneed terrified of doing his own singing. He said nothing else in his career had come close to making him as nervous including doing dangerous stunts.
The whole concept and idea of seeing someone like Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood in a musical really was a What the hell hollywood when i heard about it. I thought it was a joke when i saw it in the Simpsons episode. But they actually did it. On that subject im here for the quotes from that episode.
One of the highlights not shown here was Ben staying in the room of a prostitute while she was fleeing a suitor. You see Ben asleep in the bed surrounded by pink and frilly items when there's a knock on the door. Off camera, you hear "Sugar! Guess who this is?" Ben growls back with his deep, gravel voice "Sugar, guess who THIS is!" Always broke up the audience.
7:35 His name was Harve Presnell (born George Harvey Presnell in Modesto, Ca. 1933) he had the voice of an angel and the @$$ of a Micheangelo sculpture and the only place both are featured (and preserved for posterity) is opposite Debbie Reynolds in "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" (1964) which I would highly recommend for a future installment of Musical March in September, if you don't already have it on your line-up... After this film he did a little TV work before his career got a second wind in the 90's when he featured in Fargo, Saving Private Ryan, and Patch Adams. He was a great, under-rated singer whose star (saddly) rose after the golden age of the Hollywood musical. (Died 2009)
This is the kinda movie that would've been on HBO or something on a Saturday afternoon in the '90s when I was a kid, and I probably would've come in like half an hour late but I'd still watch the remaining two hours without ever knowing what was going on, and I would've loved it anyway just because of how loud and insane it is. I miss discovering movies that way 😆
John Wayne did a couple of singing cowboy movies in the 30's. He could not sing. TCM showed one once. They warned people that they needed to record it as you will not believe how bad the film was and you would want to show it to friends .
@@ThePa1riot It was not a ad. It was the person hosting the movie just before it started . And yes the singing sandy movies were pretty bad. Not quite Plan 9 level but far closer then the fans might like.
I don't often snort with laughter, but the line "devil's threeways" brought it out! When the month-end survey for favorite musical review comes around, this one is going to be hard to top!
This movie is an amazing double feature with The Conqueror. Kidnaping, rape, big budget productions and great actors questioning their career choices. Of course, at least this one wasn't radioactive
The scene where Lee Marvin passes the bottle of whiskey to the preacher says welcome to hell the first time I saw the video that seen made me laugh so hard I fell out ofMy chair I am
I've been to the Blue Mountains, where this was filmed. They still have a couple signs up saying that the movie was filmed there. Also, this movie is one of my guilty pleasures.
Grew up with this moving, one of the best ever. Earworm after earworm. One of the greatest joys of my young life was figuring out "I talk to the trees' and 'they call the wind maria" on acoustic guitar. And you are right about Lee Marvin having one-liner after one-liner.
I remember whenever I visited my grandparents that movie would be playing constantly... Yes, those songs are earworms... Amazing what a person absorbs at a young age... Instant Nostalgia .
Finally! I remember seeing this movie as a kid in the 80s. I was half sleep and it came on. I was like 'cool, a western'. Then.....they started singing. And my kid brain didn't know what to make of it, but I couldn't stop watching. I don't remember if I liked it, but I never forgot it.
I live in Baker City, Oregon near where this movie was filmed. People still talk about the summer of 1968 when hundreds of hippies came to town. Lee Marvin was drunk in the streets and downtown bars just like the part he played in the movie. Lee seemed to fit in with the locals. Clint Eastwood lived with Jean Seberg just like in the movie. I was only 4 years old but I remember my dad taking me to see the bear that was used in the movie. They really did build tunnels under the town they built to film. The filming location is still remote and mostly unchanged. ruclips.net/video/fDfPDy82y-c/видео.html
Thanks for the interesting tale. I think Lee Marvin’s character is hysterical and lovable. I may be the only one in these comments to claim it as one of my favorite movies. I can watch it over and over. It’s a fun story.
Great overview of one of my very favorite movies! I've seen it dozens of times and I keep forgetting just how long it is. At least it's wall-to-wall with some of the greatest ridiculousness ever put on screen. I mean, Clint Eastman sings?! …and sings and sings… I guess we now know why he didn't do that in any of alll those other movies he did. Lee Marvin is at his very most Lee Marvinest. Just a delight to watch. The final wrap-up seemed so fitting. I was surprised when the theater department of our local university announced this as their next big musical. I couldn't imagine. I was quite surprised at the many differences between the musical and the movie but that really shouldn't have been any surprise. Anyway it was a very delightful show and I can see how they thought they should make a movie out of it and how they just went completely off the rails adapting it because there's just so much Potential there!
Thanks Snob! This was a favorite in my house growing up. At one time I had the soundtrack memorized (The CD is out in my truck) Eastwood was no singer and neither was Marvin, but bless their little hearts, they freaking TRIED!
I remember when that Simpson's episode came out. My friend seen "Paint Your Wagon" but I didn't so I imagined what it could be. Clint Eastwood is painting with a brush on the side of the wagon, sees 3 outlaws, he shoots all 3 so fast that his brush didn't have time to fall from where it was painting. Later he says "If I'm gonna paint these wagons you better look at 'em." mixing up his movie lines from "Hang 'em high"
Wand'rin' Star wouldn't be half so powerful if it wasn't sung just how it is. And the funny parts of this movie never stop being funny to me no matter how many times I see it. "Hello Parson. Welcome to hell!"
You could always find someone you love or like a lot and share it with them and continue the tradition. I do that with my grandkids, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
The ending gave major Blazing Saddles vibes. It was so zany and cartoony, and all a little loony, that there is no way that Mel Brooks wasn't inspired by it.
In true Hollywood fashion, all of the guys in the Chinese Band were actually Japanese Americans, recruited from the Ontario/Vale/Treasure Valley area in Eastern Oregon. The only Chinese in the film was the old guy. My friend who wore the red shirt in the clip of the band said that they played a lot of cards between takes.
"You kids today don't respect women like we did back in the good old days!" [Movie has major plot points about objectifying, kidnapping and forced marriage of women]
My mom loved those musical South Pacific, Oklahoma, The Sound of Music. Me and my brother would rather have had our fingernails pulled out with pliers very slowly then watch those musicals. But we had a deal if she watched our shoot'em up bangbang blow them up movies we had to watch at least one musically with her.
I freaking love this movie since Mr. Evans introduced us to it in music class in high school. I’ve always been a huge Clint fan, and this one is still one of my favorites. Probably my favorite actually. No joke. It’s surprising how many co-stars went on to be Clint regulars, from Dirty Harry, Josie Wales and even the Clyde comedies.
The Simpsons first introduced me to this movie and I thought it was a fake movie but turns out it was real and I got to say it was a pretty good decent Musical and the fact that Clint Eastwood is singing in it is all so cool and despite what everyone thinks I really enjoy this musical number both Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood or good pair and the fact that this movie had briefly a three-way marriage that was pretty Progressive for his time
I don't understand why the critics (like rotten tomatoes) were so down on this movie. I thought it was whimsical, and funny, great music, and great acting on the part of Lee Marvin. Terrific movie. It made me think again: what do critics know? They're just another opinion.
Remember enjoying this as a kid. Recently rewatched it last year, and yeah, I had a blast. I even made it into a D&D adventure where I added a murder mystery and vampires.
I felt the same way Homer did only about Camelot with Richard Harris. I expected a bloody sword hack n slash movie and instead..........got a fun musical that was very entertaining. One of my favorites along with the Disney and Troll Hunters version.
I dunno, I love this movie. I love everything about it, even the flaws, because they make everything else look so much more amazing in comparison! And that climax is fantastic in a way I've rarely seen repeated!
I was browsing the local used record store today when I came across the Paint Your Wagon soundtrack in the bargain bin. This review compelled me to buy it.
My Dad showed the whole family this movie about fifteen years ago, it was a riot to sit through. My favorite songs have to be The Gospel of No-Name City and They Call the Wind Maria.
This is the reason why Clint Eastwood vowed that his directorial projects would come in on time and on budget, having witnessed the excesses of this...
I actually never thought you'd be willing to review this film, especially since you mentioned it in your Cut Throats Nine episode 7 years ago, and jokingly called it "The best of The Man with No Name Trilogy". 3:25- Cat Ballou. That the movie Sheriff Dourif mentioned in Rob Zombie's Halloween II, right? 4:49- Reminds my of the age difference between Sean Connery and Harrison Ford, who played father and son in Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade; Connery was 12-years older than Ford. 6:15- Mr. Bojangles. That's the song Homer Simpson sang when he pretending to be a homeless man. 6:30- Let me guess: 5 of the those dollars are for the whisky, and the other 75 is for the horse. 7:57- And you reviewed the trailer of THAT film in your 42nd Street Forever Vol. 3 episode. 15:39- I'm pretty sure the "Nay" guy from The Simpsons is in that crowd. 19:09- At least Marvin didn't call Eastwood a rapist like he did with Roger Moore in Shout at the Devil. Zack Snyder's Justice League sorta/kinda has an intermission. On home video, the movie is divided onto 2 discs. And according to Zack Snyder, when this movie will get a limited IMAX release, there WILL be an intermission. "It's Sprite, you jackass." LOL 26:13- I never knew Paint Your Wagon was a prequel to Jack the Ripper Goes West. 29:03- With the bullfighting scene taking place in an arena, I'm now expecting the "Are you not entertained?!" scene from Gladiator if it was turned into a song and dance number. 30:22- You should upload your Legend of the Lone Ranger review on RUclips, especially since the whole movie is free-to-watch here, and your 1981 in Film episode is a couple months away.
Honestly the fact that this feels so much like Cannibal the Musical makes me kinda wanna see it. What I've seen here is enough to make me think I love it.
My mom loved musicals, so this movie was a staple of my childhood.... which might answer a lot of questions. (We also watched 7 Brides for 7 brothers a lot...)
Paint Your Wagon is a criminally underrated Musical that was based on a musically I believe but I believe that this movie is better and like Fiddler on the Roof I really told you classic Musical that use real stages and sets and props are than just being on a green screen or not real what songs are hard felt lovely and catchy to sing along to like Clint Eastwood song about gold and Lee Marvin's Goodbye song
The weird thing about the Simpsons joke is that, what Western movies even would satisfy Bart's expectations of "bloody mayhem and unholy carnage"? I'm pretty sure even Hacksaw Ridge would put him to sleep.
My father hates musicals, save two. He loves Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Paint Your Wagon, and he watches both frequently. Have you ever said to yourself, “I guess I’m going to go play in this thunderstorm” because you couldn’t bear to listen to Paint Your Wagon another goddamn time? For real, though, “I Was Born Under a Wandering Star” is a banger, and I love that Lee Marvin sings it like he hopes no one can hear him.
Great review, was interesting to see on the Simpsons version the Lee Van Cleef reference. I will love if one day you do a review of the Sabata trilogy, those are a mix of action and comedy.
GREAT review, as ALWAYS!! PLEASE do Day of the Dead next month! I would LOVE to hear what you have to say about one of my all time favorite movies! Plus, you've referenced it enough times, you might at well review it!🧟🧟♀️🧟♂️
What about the others: Night of the Living Dead, both versions of Dawn of the Dead, or even the new Army of the Dead. I saw that last one with my dad and despite the heist plot was messed up, we enjoyed so much of the parts with the zombies. I know you a Doug talked about it in your midnight screening so I would love to see a Snob review
Literally talked about this movie with a customer at work today (cuz of my name being the same as a song from this I guess) and that 2 hours later, you posted this video. Hilarious timing, I must admit xD
Someone else here has already noted about Eastwood's singing in this. As for Lee Marvin's singing, well, for the most part, it's not very good, but his voice and delivery on "I Was Born Under A Wand'rin Star" fits it very well, I think.
OK so I just saw the film today in my opinion it is criminally underrated. This needs a Blu-ray release on the criterion collection it was had me laughing from beginning to end
"Wait, wait, wait! Here comes Lee Marvin! Thank God! He's always drunk and violent!"
Came to say that. Cheers
Pretty much all the time, and also in real life. He was Toshiro Mifune of Hollywood cinema.

Watching Lee Marvin in this movie is like watching Christopher Walken in The Country Bears. You can't help but laugh at how committed they are to the role.
I love this role way more since Lee was actually drunk throughout.
Go big or go home
You should see Christopher Walken in the live action" puss and boots"

Mrs. Fenty: You should read the Bible, Mr. Rumson.

Ben Rumson: No, but it sure killed my appetite for readin’!
"That's a pretty sorry *wagon* you got there, mister."

“We’re just painting this wagon. You got a problem with that?”
“As a matter of fact, I do.
…
You missed a spot.”
I am 100% sure this movie is a parody of spaghetti western movies. They do everything opposite of what Italians would do!
Well, grab a brush and join in!

So this was a real movie and not just a joke on The Simpsons? What the fuck?!🤯
You just made me feel like a fossil
A GREAT movie!!!
The real joke is us, just realizing it's not a joke. Well played Simpsons writers.
The whole concept and idea of seeing someone like Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood in a musical really was a What the hell hollywood when i heard about it. I thought it was a joke when i saw it in the Simpsons episode. But they actually did it. On that subject im here for the quotes from that episode.
Me too! I always thought it was a gag, till years later when I found out, it REALLY WAS a musical!
So... what you are saying is this is a musical about what happened to the Smurfs when Gargamel introduced Smurfette.
Oh my god, Smurf Your Wagon needs to exist. Get on this, Sony Pictures.
Now that I think of it I wonder how many people walked out of this when it was in theaters back in 1969.
Horrible film.
@@leonardhughes4521 My grandparents did, but that was because of the prostitution themes.
There's no jokes about Seven Brides for Seven Brothers in here, and it makes me suspicious that the Snob hasn't seen it. Watch it Snob. For all of us.

"I don't know who that guy is..." Dude! The Maria guy is the father in law from Fargo! Respect!
One of my favorite movies. Straight up funny, a couple of great songs, and the best treatment of polyamory I've seen in a mainstream film.
Suspect Mrs Jones didn't want to watch this. Probably gave Brad the evil eyes and said, 'umm I'll pass.'
Wand'rin' Star wouldn't be half so powerful if it wasn't sung just how it is. And the funny parts of this movie never stop being funny to me no matter how many times I see it. "Hello Parson. Welcome to hell!"
The only musical i can watch. One of mine and dad’s favourites. Won’t feel quite so much fun without him now though i reckon

The ending gave major Blazing Saddles vibes. It was so zany and cartoony, and all a little loony, that there is no way that Mel Brooks wasn't inspired by it.
All that this movie is missing is a black sheriff, an evil rich guy and a large mentally disabled man with superhuman strength
"Candygram for Mongo!"

This is like the epilogue of Red Dead Redemption 2 if you replaced ranching with mining and Abigail married Uncle instead of John.
So a nightmare?

Clint's singing was comparable to Pierce Brosnan in Mama Mia...not bad but kind of embarrassing. Lee Marvin could do anything!
He’s dreamy.
Noooooooo. Clint knows what staying on key is, Nostalgia Critic's "howling dog" comparison to Brosnan is probably the best yet.
I find this movie kinda adorable. Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin singing is so wholesome!
I'll take Clint singing over Pierce.

3:25- Cat Ballou. That the movie Sheriff Dourif mentioned in Rob Zombie's Halloween II, right?
4:49- Reminds my of the age difference between Sean Connery and Harrison Ford, who played father and son in Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade; Connery was 12-years older than Ford.
6:15- Mr. Bojangles. That's the song Homer Simpson sang when he pretending to be a homeless man.
6:30- Let me guess: 5 of the those dollars are for the whisky, and the other 75 is for the horse.
7:57- And you reviewed the trailer of THAT film in your 42nd Street Forever Vol. 3 episode.
15:39- I'm pretty sure the "Nay" guy from The Simpsons is in that crowd.
19:09- At least Marvin didn't call Eastwood a rapist like he did with Roger Moore in Shout at the Devil.
Zack Snyder's Justice League sorta/kinda has an intermission. On home video, the movie is divided onto 2 discs. And according to Zack Snyder, when this movie will get a limited IMAX release, there WILL be an intermission.
"It's Sprite, you jackass." LOL
26:13- I never knew Paint Your Wagon was a prequel to Jack the Ripper Goes West.
29:03- With the bullfighting scene taking place in an arena, I'm now expecting the "Are you not entertained?!" scene from Gladiator if it was turned into a song and dance number.
30:22- You should upload your Legend of the Lone Ranger review on RUclips, especially since the whole movie is free-to-watch here, and your 1981 in Film episode is a couple months away.
Gladiator the Musical should work.
A week later, and I now understand the “Cannibal! The Musical” references.
Honestly the fact that this feels so much like Cannibal the Musical makes me kinda wanna see it. What I've seen here is enough to make me think I love it.
Hands down the greatest movie of all time!
"My name is Ben Rumson and this here's my partner!"
Me: Bless you for coming out in public
Love that musical movie both Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood has good singing chops!
Holy crap this film was real?! Like everyone else my age I just assumed it was a Simpsons joke
"Welcome to Hell"
come on, Brad, you totally missed the opportunity to make a High Plains Drifter reference
just paint the damn wagon already!!
My mom loved musicals, so this movie was a staple of my childhood.... which might answer a lot of questions. (We also watched 7 Brides for 7 brothers a lot...)
After this, I have high hopes for a Seven Brides for Seven Brothers review in the future.
You know, I absolutely love this film. It's also the film my mum and dad went to see in the pictures on a first date over 50 years ago.
Covet your "neighbor's" wife. Hey hey what if it's you and your buddy's wife and you all live in the same house? Loophole time!
Ya can't covet whats ya already got!
I just realized the hat that Brad is wearing in the thumbnail is the same as John Marston from Red Dead Redemption 1! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
This is my mom's favorite movie.
I saw the movie a number of times, and even have a DVD of it. It is not the greatest, but I like it and some of the lines in it are GREAT
Paint Your Wagon is a criminally underrated Musical that was based on a musically I believe but I believe that this movie is better and like Fiddler on the Roof I really told you classic Musical that use real stages and sets and props are than just being on a green screen or not real what songs are hard felt lovely and catchy to sing along to like Clint Eastwood song about gold and Lee Marvin's Goodbye song
The weird thing about the Simpsons joke is that, what Western movies even would satisfy Bart's expectations of "bloody mayhem and unholy carnage"? I'm pretty sure even Hacksaw Ridge would put him to sleep.
My father hates musicals, save two. He loves Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Paint Your Wagon, and he watches both frequently. Have you ever said to yourself, “I guess I’m going to go play in this thunderstorm” because you couldn’t bear to listen to Paint Your Wagon another goddamn time?
For real, though, “I Was Born Under a Wandering Star” is a banger, and I love that Lee Marvin sings it like he hopes no one can hear him.
Awesome choice! What a damn good underrated film.. It was Beautiful The "Kinda forgotten" Clint Eastwood Western film.
I absolutely love how you integrated that entire Simpsons scene to react to your review.
Great review, was interesting to see on the Simpsons version the Lee Van Cleef reference.
I will love if one day you do a review of the Sabata trilogy, those are a mix of action and comedy.
'Wandering Star' is one of my favorites songs from a musical. It was weird that Lee Marvin recorded it but hey that's show biz.
look look, here comes Lee Marvin! He's always drunk and violent!!
GREAT review, as ALWAYS!!
PLEASE do Day of the Dead next month!
I would LOVE to hear what you have to say about one of my all time favorite movies!
Plus, you've referenced it enough times, you might at well review it!🧟🧟♀️🧟♂️
I should do that sometime, it's one of my favorites too!
What about the others: Night of the Living Dead, both versions of Dawn of the Dead, or even the new Army of the Dead. I saw that last one with my dad and despite the heist plot was messed up, we enjoyed so much of the parts with the zombies. I know you a Doug talked about it in your midnight screening so I would love to see a Snob review
I'm so glad I've seen everything so I can enjoy all your references. Not being sarcastic.
With all these references to cannibalism, does that mean he's gonna do an episode on Cannibal: The Musical?
Either that or Sweeney Todd
He better. Thats all i'm asking for
@@CocainBuzz I'm also still waiting on Ken Russell's Tommy from 1975.
I'll never forget the moment I stumbled across this while channel surfing and realized it was a real movie, not just joke made up by The Simpsons.
I actually really like Clint’s singing in general
This one is of my absolute favorites
Brad I have also been waiting literal years for you to do this one
Was this what Disney's Pocahontas production was thinking of?
Literally talked about this movie with a customer at work today (cuz of my name being the same as a song from this I guess) and that 2 hours later, you posted this video. Hilarious timing, I must admit xD
Best stereophonic mix....EVER
Someone else here has already noted about Eastwood's singing in this. As for Lee Marvin's singing, well, for the most part, it's not very good, but his voice and delivery on "I Was Born Under A Wand'rin Star" fits it very well, I think.
OK so I just saw the film today in my opinion it is criminally underrated. This needs a Blu-ray release on the criterion collection it was had me laughing from beginning to end
The only thing worse than calling something underrated is adding "criminally" before it.
