Paint Your Wagon — 4K 03/01/25

This great-looking (especially now) super-musical splits opinions right down the middle. It charms many who love the songs and the rustic comedy; others find it an overlong departure from the original stage musical. Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood sing, which for some invalidates the whole show. Yet after a few viewings we can see that they’re croaking and squeaking by — Harve Presnell is on hand to belt out the big tune. The great Jean Seberg carries more than her weight throughout. She makes the ‘liberated’ rewrite work, at least for the stellar threesome in that mountain cabin. On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from KL Studio Classics.
