Additional InformationClint Eastwood and Lee Marvin break out of their traditional screen personas in this offbeat western musical comedy with a memorable Lerner and Loewe score.

Together, between bouts of drinking and gambling, the two men are able to transform such activities as hijacking a stage and kidnapping prostitutes into steps toward transforming their mining camp into a boomtown. Directed by Josh Logan (PICNIC, SOUTH PACIFIC). Academy Award Nominations: Best Score of a Musical Picture.

A FUNNY, GRUBBY MUSICAL WESTERN
I have always loved this musical despite it receiving fairly negative reviews upon cinematic release in 1969. It could be called an 'anti-musical', as the two male leads cannot sing; but I feel this adds charm, reveals more of their characters; and therefore creates an empathy with the audience. Harve Presnall as 'Rotten Luck Willy' is tremendous (what a voice), and the all-male chorus is sublime. Highlight of the movie: the 'Maria' sequence. It is one of the best performed songs ever featured in an American film musical.

A brilliant comedy western
I may be getting older and apt to bask in nostalgia but I also feel that the old adage the olduns are the best is sometimes true. Take British sitcoms of the seventies like Faulty Towers, Dads Army etc . They have never bettered those and they are still classics that stand up to be entertaining decades later. Same is true of a good film. At first the idea of a musical comedy western seems strange but this film is very watchable predominantly due to the brilliant performance of Lee Marvin. The rest of the cast are just window dressing really and there is one absolutely awful performance by some bloke playing an English or Scots person but his accent is so bad and so annoying its hard to tell what his character is supposed to be. God knows where the accent coach was on this film. All that said this is a brilliant watchable film with some lovely songs and as I said the most amazing performance by Lee Marvin as the grizzled old miner whose wisdom shines through.

Excellent old musical
Excellent old musical with excellent performances from all the cast, notably, the late great Lee Marvin who takes on the role of a grumpy old gold prospector with a gruff but likeable voice. Some great songs as well as a good storyline.

Having a really good time.
It is bit long, it is a bit dated, but bye Jove it is very entertaining and very nostalgic. A really good film that takes you back to when they made really good films. Yes I rate this film.

Lavish production
Very interesting to compare this lavish version with my recollections of a much simpler provincial theatre stage presentation in about 1954 - probably before it hit the West End!
