I welcome a brand new year - with one of my favourite movie tunes...

  2. It's 'Paint Your Wagon' (1969), starring Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood and Jean Seberg as the leads.

    I LOVE this musical western. Lee M. and Clint E. use their own voices for the singing -a bit raw and unexpected, but I rather like it.

    Lou, I think you'd enjoy the fun romp of PYW - as well as the fact that the movie points to some real issues of that period of California history.

    The reason you've not seen PYW (read: was not 'raised on it) is most likely due to the fact that I didn't own it until about a week ago.

  3. Here's my review of said clip:

    C.Eastwood is a CROONER?! Phooey, I hate crooners! ('cept for Tony Bennett) Who would've guessed. I do love scratchy voiced L. Marvin. My only complaint: too darn long...sing it Lee, and sit down!

  4. House Dreams: I love this song so much that I will play it over and over and over again. Then it really is long - maybe even too darn long!
