This unorthodox dream western by Robert Altman may be the most radically beautiful film to come out of the New American Cinema that transformed Hollywood in the early 1970s. It stars Warren Beatty and Julie Christie as an enterprising gambler and a bordello madam, both newcomers to the raw Pacific Northwest mining town of Presbyterian Church, who j...
Surely a dream come true for many, The Criterion Collection has managed to snag Robert Altman’s unconventional western McCabe & Mrs. Milleron Blu-ray, presenting in its original aspect ratio of 2.40:1 on this dual-layer disc. The 1080p/24hz high-definition presentation has been sourced from a new 4K restoration scanned from the original 35mm negati...
Criterion includes a lossless PCM 1.0 mono track. Altman’s sound design can be a bit frustrating for newcomers: there can be a lot of mumbling and people talking over one another (what people need to remember, though, is if you are supposed to hear something, Altman makes sure you hear it). This can lend to a fairly muffled sound at times but I thi...
When it comes to supplements Criterion’s Warner licensed releases can sometimes feel lacking. This one proves to be one of the better of their Warner titles, carrying most everything over from the Warner DVD, while adding on a number of new features to further expand on it. The wonderful audio commentary featuring Altman and producer David Foster i...
This is an absolutely fantastic edition. The supplements are all very good, but the real story here is the film’s presentation: it looks absolutely wonderful. It has a very unusual look, and in the wrong hands it could probably look like a digital mess. But Criterion pulls it off. An easy recommendation. BUY AT:
- ITS WORKING TITLE WAS THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH WAGER. Though the film was based on a 1959 novel by Edmund Naughton called McCabe, the working title was The Presbyterian Church Wager, referring to a bet by a few of the townsfolk over whether McCabe would be killed after refusing to sell his businesses.
- ELLIOTT GOULD TURNED DOWN THE LEAD (ALLEGEDLY) BECAUSE OF BITTER M*A*S*H FEELINGS. Gould had starred (with Donald Sutherland) in one of Altman's previous films, M*A*S*H, which had had a tumultuous production.
- THE STARS WERE A REAL-LIFE COUPLE WHO HAD NEVER WORKED TOGETHER BEFORE. Hollywood playboy Warren Beatty and British bombshell Julie Christie had an on-and-off relationship for several years, during which time they made McCabe & Mrs. Miller.
- THE SETS WERE BUILT BY AMERICAN DRAFT-DODGERS. The film was shot near Vancouver in 1970, when many young Americans were fleeing to Canada to escape the Vietnam draft.

In “McCabe and Mrs. Miller,” Altman uses a tactfully unobtrusive camera, a distinctive conversational style of dialog and the fluid movements of his actors to give us people who are characters from the moment we see them; we have the sense that when they leave camera range they’re still thinking, humming, scratching, chewing and nodding to each other in the street.
