2hrs 40mins... 160 whole minutes... Why?

What an absolute bore, and a waste, 'Paint Your Wagon' turns into. Why did they make this so long? The plot needn't be that extended, the music doesn't carry it either. It has a few decent parts, but

What an absolute bore, and a waste, 'Paint Your Wagon' turns into. Why did they make this so long? The plot needn't be that extended, the music doesn't carry it either. It has a few decent parts, but they are surrounded by excess fat.

Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood and Jean Seberg stopped me from hating this, I will say, because that trio are all solid despite the aforementioned. It's amusing, at first anyway, to see Marvin and Eastwood sing, as they aren't the types you'd expect to do so. I'm not saying they can sing per se, but it's comically positive - which is the film's intentional, after all.

I wish it was shorter, you could easily take an hour off this and not lose anything. It's a right drag, unfortunately.
