Different to what I was expecting, which initially made me dislike the movie. I was expecting a typical western-drama: stars Lee Marvin & Clint Eastwood - wouldn't you? Instead it is actually a comedy-musical, with more than a smidgen of romance too. I generally don't like musicals, and seeing action men like Marvin and Eastwood in a musical just seemed...wrong.
However, it grew on me. The music is catchy, and some scenes and dialogue are hilariously funny. The love triangle is interesting, helped a lot by the stunning beauty of Jean Seberg.
Despite being out of their element, Marvin and Eastwood put in great performances. Marvin is particularly surprising as he generally takes on one-dimensional action roles, and here he does a great comedic turn. Very funny, and spot-on for the role.
Eastwood is solid and plays more to his strong suit - the strong silent type. Though he does get to sing...
Jean Seberg is great, and, as mentioned before, incredibly beautiful.
Not at all what I was expecting but entertaining nonetheless.
