The Sixties Daily Trivia

Congratulations!  "Paint Your Wagon" tells the story of a prospector and a farmer from Michigan who team-up in search of gold.  In the movie Clint Eastwood (Pardner) sings "I Talk to the Trees", and Lee Marvin (Ben Rumson) gives a gravely rendition of "Wanderin' Star". Both songs were written by Alan Jay Learner and Frederick Loewe. Hippies who lived in woods close to the film-set were employed as extras on the movie. "Paint Your Wagon" received nominations for Oscar and Golden Globe awards (none of the nominations were for the singing ability of Marvin or Eastwood).
