"Paint Your Wagon" (1969)

"Paint Your Wagon" (1969)

The Smith’s Staff Pick film for January invites you to stake your claim to the "musical goldmine of '69!"

In this musical based on the Broadway show, Ben Rumson (Lee Marvin) happens upon a wrecked wagon containing a dead man and his surviving brother, Pardner (Clint Eastwood), in the wilds of California during the Gold Rush. At the burial, they discover gold dust and stake a claim. Soon, a mining camp dubbed “No Name City” emerges, rife with lonely men starved for female companionship. When a polygamist Mormon arrives looking to sell off a wife (Jean Seberg), a bidding war commences.

Be sure to catch the vintage cartoon screening before the feature film for an authentic, old-fashioned movie theater experience!
