Story Synopsis:
Paint Your Wagon, based on the Broadway musical play by Lerner and Lowe, is a story about life in the mid 19th century west and the wild and brawny men who live there. Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood (with singing parts), star in this crazy, fun musical of a goldmining boom town called No Name City. They become partners even to the point of sharing Lee Marvin’s wife (Jean Seberg), won in an auction. The women-starved miners decide to kidnap a group of women “entertainers” who have been solicited by another town, who in turn use their influence to give No Name some stability. With wonderful scenery and upbeat musical scores the movie provides a fun and definitely entertaining comedy.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture is a real looker. Colors are strong and vivid with perfectly natural fleshtones. Blacks are well defined as is the shadow detail. The 2.20:1 transfer is essentially noise and artifact free for a pristine and detailed picture.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is first rate with a spectacular stereophonic soundstage and wonderful music. Dialogue and effects are directionalized.
