Can Paint Your Wagon be far behind?

As far as info, who knows? To the best of my knowledge, this is coming out through Paramount's MOD line (and early estimates are that it is a BD-R, so don't get too excited about it yet).

I still remember Robert Goulet’s version of the title song getting lots of radio play. OMG, did i just say that. Robert Goulet got radio air time?

He was a big recording star and Grammy winner at one time. Nothing wrong about writing facts.

I agree. I was expressing my nostalgia for another time when a great voice got radio time.

On a Clear Day and Paint Your Wagon. Saw them both in theaters and on disk. Never want to see either of them ever again. One killed off Vincente Minelli's career, the other did the same for Josha Logan. Talk about bombs!

It would be interesting to see Paint Your Wagon again, just to hear Clint talk to the trees again. This movie is just another example of how Hollywood likes to cast for star power in musicals, and singing talent be damned.

Will this suffice?

I remember seeing Paint Your Wagon at the movies in Annandale, Virginia during high school with a good friend who unfortunately had a very distinctive and loud laugh. Try as he did to stifle his laughs, several times he couldn't hold it in and we decided to leave when Clint started warbling "I Talk to the Trees" before we were thrown out.

A few years ago, City Center Encores in New York staged Paint Your Wagon. While not a great musical, it was much more tolerable with talented singers and no overblown production. Attached is a clip from the show, with Keith Carradine and Justin Guarini in the Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood roles.

the City Center Encore of "Paint Your Wagon" has an excellent cast album.

Alf Clausen was the Carl Stalling of The Simpsons. Shame he's no longer involved, as he clearly has a love for musical theatre and incorporated it well into the show.

Wait! What? You mean you can cast a musical with actors who can sing?

Oh I dunno, I think Josha Logan was past it when he made Paint Your Wagon (& I don't think he did a great job with Camelot either). Twenty million dollars seems a hell of a budget for 1969, maybe the film got away from him, it lost money on release anyway. I never fancied seeing it, & then last year I thought, let's give it a try & bought the DVD...& I really liked it, although it would be nothing without Lee Marvin. I hope it gets a Blu-ray release, this seems to be the year for Paramount catalogue releases.

So is the way you can tell a blu ray disc is MOD because the packaging doesn't use the blu ray logo and just says Blu Ray disc on the packaging like On A Clear Day does?

 

[john a hunter]

Mustn't get off subject but have never been able to track down any figures for PYW.
It did huge business in the UK and I think here in Australia too.
I get the impression that the then owner of the studio got his hands on the revenue.

I believe so, because BD-Rs aren't "strictly compliant" with the BD spec and therefore cannot display the Blu-ray Disc logo. I'm willing to be corrected if someone can tell me otherwise. I think it's something weird like what happened with DualDisc [remember those?]
