Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This somewhat obscure 1969 movie musical was based on the Broadway musical of the same name by Lerner and Loewe (the authors of Brigadoon and later My Fair Lady), with which it shares a number of characters and songs but not much plot. It was the last film to be directed by Joshua Logan and was adapted for the screen by Paddy Chayefsky.The story takes place during the California Gold Rush. When a wagon crashes into a ravine, prospector Ben Rumson (Lee Marvin) rescues the surviving occupant (Clint Eastwood). The two form a partnership, and Ben dubs the survivor "Pardner". By the riverside where the wagon crashed, gold is discovered, and a boomtown called "No Name City" promptly crops up.The population of No Name City is initially all-male, and the said men get horny. They are thus delighted when a Mormon with two wives rides into town one day. They convince him to sell one of them, Elizabeth (Jean Seberg), to the highest bidder. Ben, in a drunken stupor, wins the bid.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A cabin is constructed for Ben and Elizabeth and the two settle into a happy marriage. But the remaining men are still horny, and Ben starts to get overprotective of Elizabeth. So the men concoct a scheme to kidnap six prostitutes from a neighboring town. Ben heads the mission, leaving Elizabeth in Pardner's care. Whilst he is away, the two fall in love. When Ben gets back, the scheme a success, Elizabeth convinces him and Pardner to enter a polyandrous marriage with her.With the abduction of the prostitutes successful, a brothel is established. Men come from miles around for a lay, and No Name City grows into a thriving town. Presently, a preacher named Parson arrives and decries all the gambling and hooking, claiming that God will make the earth swallow the town. As it happens, Ben and his cohorts dig a maze of tunnels beneath the town to collect the gold dust that falls through the floorboards of the buildings above. It looks like Parson might turn out to be correct...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Paint Your Wagon / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: "Pardner"'s real name is unknown to everyone until he is asked about it at the end of the film. This hints at Clint Eastwood's prior recurring role as "The Man With No Name" | |

Fire Is Masculine: The movie has a song called "They Call the Wind Maria", the lyrics of which gives names to the rain, fire and wind. The wind is named Maria, the rain is named Jack and fire is named Joe, one of the most common male names to ever exist. | |

| Paint Your Wagon / int_a8a80e26 | comment |
Fashion Dissonance: Very much averted with the local hippies who were used as extras for the film (this was made in The '60s, remember). Their clothes and hair were already so in tune with the Gold Rush aesthetic that they didn't even need costumes or makeup. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| Paint Your Wagon / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: The film manages (with hilarious results) to contrast the looser or outright upended morals of a remote, sex-starved frontier settlement where the only law in operation is the "Mining Law" of recognized claims, and the strait-laced, puritanical morality of "respectable", Christian 19th century society... both of which contrast with the norms of more "modern" audiences, who are pretty much expected to roll with it. To the men of No Name, it seems perfectly reasonable to shrug their shoulders and, say, let a passing Mormon with two wives (not practiced by mainstream Mormonism today) auction off his "spare" wife to the highest bidder... and yet with their still-patriarchal values the idea of the same woman taking on another husband weirds them out even more, albeit our protagonists quickly accept the arrangement. | |

Wanderlust Song: "Wandering Star" in the graveltastic voice of Lee Marvin. "Elisa" and "They Call the Wind Maria" is a good counterpart to this, dealing with the loneliness of a wandering life. | |
