I'm no fan of musicals but this is my favorite hands down. Love Clint and Lee Marvin.

I love this song. Goooold fever. its one of my favorites. The movie was great. Course... it has Clint Eastwood AND Lee Marvin, how can it not be great???

classic.Clint...your a legend

Damn he was handsome and he could act,singing aint bad either.

It can be found on DVD. A few Western fans might hate it but I think many think it is mildly entertaining. It is not that dark.

And Eastwood didn't sell it out, commercially, which would have been the easy move. The legendary writer Norman Mailer, one of the seemingly few Americans who viewed "Honkytonk man," wrote the following about it:"It was one of the saddest movies seen in a long time, yet on reflection, terrific. One felt a tenderness for America while looking at it."

... precisely. With the original script and savvier, more channeled direction, the results with that casting could have been very intriguing, maybe even a cult film. As you noted, there are traces of that potential revisionism floating through "Paint Your Wagon," popping up on occasion.

Oh hell yes. Underrated movie.

A darkly revisionist version of PYW would be fantastic! Now that you've said that, I think you can see traces of that here and there. The casting of Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin tells you something, to start with.

Yeah, "Gold Fever" is by far Eastwood's best song in this movie. It's almost as if he's singing a white man's blues here, hinting at his inner irreverence and misanthropic melancholy. Eastwood originally signed on to "Paint Your Wagon" in 1967 because Paddy Chayefsky's original script indicated that the musical would be darkly revisionist. It didn't turn out that way due to dramatic script changes and unfocused direction, but "Gold Fever" may be a vestige of the original vision.

And "Honkytonk Man" (directed by Eastwood) is a spare, quiet masterpiece of sorts.

Well, he originally wanted to be a jazz pianist or a musician of some sort, but then the military drafted him during the Korean War (1950-1953) and Eastwood drifted into acting in 1954. Eastwood did cut a couple singing records during his "Rawhide" days.

This movie was so much fun. It would be great for Clint Eastwood's fans to see this again.

Old Clint aint making film in the quantity he was, but he is staring and directing some quality films these days, remember most of us would have well retired by his age.

I just can never belive it when peoplle say he can't sing . and he nay says this movie when it's my favorite and I love them all.

The thing Ive found with getting old is that Clint star in fewer films, but at least hes still making them. Great Clip

Clint is a man of courage, just look at his career. He did so many different types of acting and directing. My favorite line from this song is "Cured of what we're suffering from and suffering from the cure." Look at this clip, he's timing is impeccable.

MY FAVORITE!!

Clint Eastwood's performance of the song Gold Fever, is Solid Gold in my Book.

Clint Eastwood is not just a great Actor-Producer-Director, But he's also good in both making music and occaisonally singing as well. He also sang in Honky Tonk Man, and Any Which Way You Can in the opening credits doing a duet with Ray Charles called Beer to You.
