He steps off through the mud puddles to the only local saloon, throws a cloth on the table and takes out a pack of cards, to start again.

McCabe rides into the town of Presbyterian Church under a lowering sky, dismounts, takes off his buffalo-hide coat, puts on his bowler hat and mumbles something under. It is not often given to a director to make a perfect film. Some spend their lives trying, but always fall short. Robert Altman has made a dozen films that can be.

Below is a complete listing of all broadcasts of the Saturday Night Theatre title. This is not necessarily a definitive list for example Agatha Christie\'s \'Ordeal by. It doesn\'t kill a character just to get a trendy existential feel about the meaninglessness of it all. No, Mc. Cabe doesn\'t find it meaningless at all, and once Mrs. Miller explains the mistake he made in his reasoning, he rides all the way into the next town to try to sell his holdings for half what he was asking, because he\'d rather not die. Death is very final in this Western, because the movie is about life. Most Westerns are about killing and getting killed, which means they\'re not about life and death at all. We spend a time in the life of a small frontier town, which grows up before our eyes out of raw, unpainted lumber and tubercular canvas tents. We get to know the town pretty well, because Altman has a gift for making movies that seem to eavesdrop on activity that would have been taking place anyway. That was what happened In . In a lot of movies, an actor appears on the screen and has no identity at all until somebody calls him . Miller are an organic part of this community. We are aware of course, that they\'re played by Warren Beatty and Julie Christie, but rarely have stars been used so completely for their talents rather than their fame. We don\'t ever think much about Mc. Cabe being Warren Beatty, and Mrs. Miller being Julie Christie; they\'re there along with everybody else in town, and the movie just happens to be about their lives. Because the movie is about a period in the lives of several people (and not about a series of events that occur to one- dimensional characters), Mc. Cabe and Mrs. Miller change during the course of the story. Miller is a tough Cockney madam who convinces Mc. Cabe that he needs a competent manager for his whorehouse: How would He ever know enough about managing women? He agrees, and she lives up to her promise, and they\'re well on their way to making enough money for her to get out of this dump of a mining town and back to San Francisco where, she believes, a woman of her caliber belongs. All of this happens in an indoor sort of a way, and by that I don\'t mean that the movie looks like it was shot on a sound stage. The outdoors is always there, and people are always coming in out of it and shaking the rain from their hats, and we see the trees whipping in the wind through the windows. But it\'s a wet autumn and then a cold winter, so people naturally congregate in saloons and grocery stores and whorehouses, and the climate forces a sense of community. Then the enforcers come to town: The suave, Scottish- accented Butler, who kills people who won\'t sell out to the Company, and his two sidekicks. One of them is slack- jawed and mean, and the other is a nervous blond kid with the bare makings of a mustache. On the suspension bridge that gets you across the river to the general store, he kills another kid a rawboned, easygoing country kid with a friendly smile - - and it is one of the most affecting and powerful deaths there ever has been in a Western. The final hunt for Mc. Cabe takes place in almost deserted streets, because the church is burning down and everybody is out at the edge of town trying to save it. The church burns during a ghostly, heavy daylight snowstorm: fire and ice. And Mc. Cabe almost gets away. Miller, who allowed him into her bed but always, except once, demanded $5 for the privilege, caught on long before he did that the Company would rather kill him than go up $2,0. She is down at the foot of town, in Chinatown, lost in an opium dream while the snow drifts against his body.
