McCabe and Mrs. Miller

Presented on 35mm

Charismatic gambler John McCabe (Warren Beatty) arrives in a mining community and decides to open a brothel. The local residents are impressed by his confident demeanor and fast talk, but crafty sex-worker Constance Miller (Julie Christie) sees through McCabe’s words and realizes he isn’t as sharp as he seems. For a share in his profits, Mrs. Miller agrees to help plan and run McCabe’s establishment, but soon a powerful company threatens to destroy what they have built up.

Shot on beautiful Vancouver wilderness locations, this 1971 film captures the essence of a long-ago time, coupled with the edgy modern sensibility Robert Altman brought to his other 70s masterworks. The spellbinding result, prominently featuring the music of Leonard Cohen, is a modern classic.

"They say that great actors are never knowingly caught acting; Altman's best movies are similarly effortless - experiences to be lived in, rather than simply watched."
Colin Kennedy, Empire
"McCabe and Mrs. Miller is like no other Western ever made, and with it, Robert Altman earns his place as one of the best contemporary directors."
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

This film is part of the Altman at 100 series.
