Clint Eastwood sings! But it's Lee Marvin's rendition of Wand'rin' Star that leaves everyone humming when the dust settles on this epic Western musical. The iconic pair play prospectors who both marry the same woman (Jean Seberg) - mighty unusual even in the crazy times of the California Gold Rush. Big 'n' ballsy extravaganza based on Lerner and Loewe's Broadway hit.

Review

The film that put Lee Marvin's gravel voice at the top of the charts, with the million-selling 'Wand'rin' Star'. The setting for this hard-shelled musical Western is an implausibly pretty-looking California Gold Rush. The plot concerns a lady pioneer (Jean Seberg), who takes two husbands, but that scarcely matters, given they are played by Marvin and Clint Eastwood, and that there's a supremely tuneful score. Eastwood sings I Talk to the Trees - and jolly embarrassing it is too.
