The film version of the Lerner-Loewe stage production Paint Your Wagon (1969, Joshua Logan) is a hilarious and often touching depiction of a camp (called No-Name City) of tender men in tough California gold-rush days. The most eccentrically cast musical in movie history, it stars Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood, who do all their own singing.
Dorothy M. Johnson’s bang-up novella The Hanging Tree is an absorbing fictional vision of mores, greed, and justice among men possessed by the lust for gold.
