Facts about
Paramount advertised for extras, and Portland's hippie population turned out, complete with long hair, mustaches and beards, period clothing, and camping gear. The local rednecks were infuriated that 'dirty hippies' got the plum jobs...until they began buying groceries, beer, and antiques in town.
This film version bears little resemblance to the Broadway musical on which it is ostensibly based. After the success of several musical films in the 1960s, most notably The Sound of Music, producers went looking for other projects to make, and "Paint Your Wagon" made the list. The original plot, about an inter-ethnic love story, was discarded as being too dated. The only elements retained from the original were the title, Gold Rush setting and about half of the songs. In the play, Elizabeth has a very minor role, Pardner does not even appear, and Ben Rumson dies at the end.
Jean Seberg's singing voice was dubbed by Anita Gordon, while Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin did their own singing. Marvin's recording of the song "Wanderin' Star" went to #1 on the British charts, earning him a gold record.
