Comments

My Favorite Musical, 27 November 2003 Author: kaisai from Allegan, Michigan Eastwood & Marvin, 2 tough guys, sharing a friendship, trying to strike gold and SINGING. IMO they did all that very well. Also Jean Seberg, Harve Presnell, Ray Walston and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band had musical numbers which were great. The women had it rough then, doing what they had t do to get by, but the majority of men were gentlemen and any wrong doings were delt with swiftly, not like in modern day civilization. People then trusted one another, went by their word and made laws simple for everyone to understand without a lawyer. They made their own kind of paradise. When civilization came in, you had the option to stay or leave, it was your choice. The story line, scenery and music score made this movie great. Also a great trivia movie, which I thing it was the only movie that Clint Eastwood sang in.
