This movie version bears little resemblance to the Broadway musical on which it was based. After the success of several musical movies in the 1960s, most notably Tutti insieme appassionatamente (1965), producers went looking for other projects to make, and "Paint Your Wagon" made the list. The original plot, about an inter-ethnic love story, was discarded as being too dated. The only elements retained from the original included the title, the gold rush setting, and about half of the songs. In the play, Elizabeth has a minor role, Pardner (Sylvester Newel) does not even appear, and Ben Rumson dies at the end.
