What Paint Your Wagon Is About

During the gold rush two prospectors agree to be married to the same woman, and the town they build grows up around that arrangement. The most discussed thing about it is that both leading men sing; neither is a professional singer, and the result is sometimes odd and sometimes unexpectedly affecting. It runs very long and is loose as a musical, and its arrival near the end of the big budget musical era is no accident. The domestic arrangement at its centre is still unusual, and the film presents it as a working solution rather than a scandal.
