Paint Your Wagon

Paint Your Wagon (1969) is a boisterous Western musical you can watch online on iFILM. Director Joshua Logan stretched the story of California's 1840s gold rush to 164 minutes, casting Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood as unlikely partners — a grizzled prospector and his younger counterpart — who somehow end up sharing a wife along with their claim.

Their mining camp grows into a full-blown frontier town: saloons, gambling tables, imported women and trouble in bulk. Eastwood sings. That alone makes the film a curiosity worth the runtime.

Made at the tail end of Hollywood's golden age of road-show musicals, Paint Your Wagon is rough, loose and surprisingly dark by the final act. Stream it online on iFILM.
