McCabe & Mrs. Miller
Robert Altman’s only Western takes a long time to get heated up, but in its final hour it truly burns. As John McCabe, Warren Beatty is terrific as a hustler who’s built a reputation for himself as a gunslinging tough guy, though secretly he’s really a coward who’s never killed anyone. After opening a smash-hit brothel in a wintry village, a big cartel swoops in to buy him out. He refuses, and a price is quickly put upon his head.
While Beatty is fabulous, Julie Christie’s Mrs. Miller (the madam who runs his whorehouse) doesn’t make much of an impression and astonishingly, she was nominated for an Oscar for this role. (In fact, the original novel is just called McCabe, with no mention of Miller at all.) The folky/twangy score is also a bit rough on the ears, but all is forgiven by the character study that plays out in the film’s final moments. Lovely.
