Presbyterian Church is a small mining town in the turn-of-the century Pacific Northwest - and a perfect place where a gambler John Q. McCabe and bordello madam Constance Miller can do business.
Robert Altman's dazzlingly original McCabe & Mrs. Miller, starring Warren Beatty and Julie Christie (a 1971 Best Actress Academy Award® nominee for her work here), stands the mythology of the Old West on it ear. Shot on beautiful Vancouver wilderness locations, it captures the essence of a long-ago time, coupled with other '70s masterworks M*A*S*H and Nashville. The spellbinding result, critic Pauline Kael wrote, is "a modern classic."

Classic Altman - 3.75 out of 5 (5/27/2002)
Most critics refer to McCABE & MRS. MILLER as an anti-western, and this statement is true.
But the film comes from a time when Director Robert Altman was spending much of his career trying to topple genres made popular through years of prior films. MASH was an anti-war film disguised as a war movie, THE LONG GOODBYE was an anti-detective film that set it's character up as the fall guy and McCabe & Mrs. Miller sets up the same sort of premise with the hero being a buffoon first and a western

Altmans masterpiece finally captured in all its glory - 3 out of 5 (6/6/2002)
This has been my favorite Altman movie for years and not seen (except for a rare Laserdisc printing) in widescreen since its original release. Even the Sundance channel airs a pan and scan version which is unwatchable. Now on DVD in widescreen it re assumes its place as one of the finest films of the century. Its a moodpiece so plan to sit back and be swept away. Five stars.
