Missed this movie when it made the circuit ages ago. However, I did remember some of its songs such as 'Wandering Star','I Talk to the Trees' and 'Gold Fever'.
What was memorable about this film was not the story line of a woman having two husbands, or even Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood singing some mighty good songs. It was the vivacious and unforgettable American actress, Jean Seberg.
Jean Seberg was a tragic actress who died young under very mysterious circumstances. Many suspected suicide from an overdose of pills. Her body was found at the back of her car under a blanket,in a highly decomposed state. A fashion maven, she was considered more an icon than an actress.
As I have not seen Jean as her pretty self in other movies, 'Paint Your Wagon' is the only one that I can see her in animation. The other ones I can recall is "A Fine Madness" where she starred with Sean Connery, "The Mouse that Roared" and "Breathless" with Jean Paul Belmondo.
