Alternate Versions
On its release to what were then called "neighborhood theatres" (i.e. theatres which showed films that had ended their first runs downtown), the film's running time was shortened by having three songs eliminated, "I Still See Elisa", "The First Thing You Know", and "Gold Fever". This left both Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood with only one solo song each. The film was restored to its original length for its first television showing, and has remained that way ever since.

While not well known for their vocal chops, Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood don't totally butcher this fun little romp of a quest for gold. Thay get a wife along the way to round out the plot. Lee Marvin was a decorated veteran and if you look closely, when they have the town meeting he is sharpening a K-Bar.
