McCabe & Mrs. Miller

1971 · TMDB 7.2

Directed by Robert Altman

A gambler and a prostitute become thriving business partners in a remote Old West mining town until a large corporation arrives on the scene.

Why it matters

Robert Altman's snowbound western follows a gambler and a brothel madam building a business in a Pacific Northwest mining town, until a corporation decides the claim is worth more than they are. Leonard Cohen's songs drift over the mud like a funeral.
