When I ever heard about
this film I snickered, thinking it was a joke. Clint Eastwood in a
musical? But I kept seeing it recommended on a few lists and decided I
should give it a chance. Some bad movies are a hoot.
Surprise! This movie is great. It’s the musical western about two
prospectors sharing the same woman. The western town of No
Name City is a massive spectacle full of great quirky characters and enjoyable
music. I’m a musical guy so if you don’t like people singing in your
movies for no reason then skip this one but if you like musicals then check it
out. It’s a fun movie that turns out made a lot of money when it came out
(who knew). I’m still scratching my head trying to figure out
how I came to think of this movie as a failed musical because it certainly is
not. Grade: B+
My Grading System
A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).
Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.
