Say Hello to My Little Film: Episode 221 - McCabe & Mrs. Miller
Rob is down to his final two recommendations for the year on SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM! He’s wrapping things up with a one-two punch, starting with one of his favorite films by his favorite director, Robert Altman’s 1971 revisionist western MCCABE & MRS. MILLER! This New Hollywood twist on the classic genre stars Warren Beatty (DICK TRACY, BONNIE & CLYDE) as John McCabe, a wandering gambler who sets up a makeshift brothel in the small boomtown of Presbyterian Church. His business catches the eye of Constance Miller (played brilliantly by Julie Christie), a professional madame who pushes her way into a partnership that boosts the operation. But when the region’s largest mining company sets its sights on McCabe’s holdings and the town itself, his business skills are put to the ultimate test.
This landmark of the New Hollywood era showcases Altman at his finest, working with top-tier actors and crafting sepia-toned, textured visuals with the legendary cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond, cementing its place as a pinnacle of 70s cinema.
Will MCCABE & MRS. MILLER be an easy win for Ray? Or will its reputation as an “anti-western” challenge his growing love for the genre? Find out this week!
