The Big Picture If you've heard of 1969's "musical Western" Paint Your Wagon, there's a decent chance you only know it from The Simpsons. In Season 9, Homer rents Paint Your Wagon for family movie night, hoping for a blood-and-guts western, as the picture stars Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood, both known as men of violence. The Simpsonized version opens in media res, during what seems to be a tense showdown at high noon.
The 1960s are often described as the decade that the Hollywood musical died. There's a parallel with the current decline of comic book movies. Audiences were losing interest, but studios would still spend ruinous amounts of money hoping to have one more hit like The Sound of Music. Lerner was able to convince Paramount Pictures to bankroll a film adaptation of Paint Your Wagon, one of his few remaining unfilmed stage musicals.
The Production of 'Paint Your Wagon' Was A Slow-Motion Disaster Close Joshua Logan had been a theater director before he directed movies. In 1967, he adapted Lerner's Camelot, which was widely criticized for looking too much like a filmed play. Lerner did not want to make that mistake again. Camelot had been filmed on sound stages. When Lerner brought Logan back for another collaboration, he insisted that Paint Your Wagon be filmed on location.
After Rumson and Pardner's claim peters out, they have no income. But they can't leave town, because their marriage would not be tolerated anywhere else. Rumson's plan is to build a system of tunnels beneath every saloon in town, to collect the gold dust that drips through the floorboards. This system of mines was actually constructed, and all of No-Name City's sets were rigged to collapse into the tunnels: a fate meant to recall what befell Sodom and Gomorrah.
