I saw a Clint Eastwood interview, he said he wished he had never made that movie. I wouldn’t doubt that Lee Marvin was drunk. When my husband asks me If I’d like to watch a CE movie with him, I ask if it’s Paint Your Wagon, he rolls his eyes.

Every Clint Eastwood fan should see it once (that’s enough)

I think that Lee Marvin was probably drunk nearly every day, period.

I think that Lee Marvin made a movie with Richard Burton, at the end of both of their careers, and, both of them were drunk for the entire shoot.

Jane Fonda said the same thing about him in the movie "Cat Ballou". She said he was the worst actor she ever had to work with because he was always stinking drunk. Yet he deserved that Oscar he won.

Later I watched an interview with him, and he admitted he was almost always drunk when he acted. The pic of him leaning on the wall while on the horse is classic. Marvin admitted in that interview that in real life he was as drunk as he looked.

As an aside, "The Dirty Dozen" was Marvin's greatest movie, and one of my all time Top 10. I put both Eastwood and Marvin in my top 5 of all-time actors. Yet only once were they together, and it is one of the worst movies I ever watched. Worth watching once for the laugh but never care to watch it again. "Paint Your Wagon"
