7/10

An early 70s winner, late director Robert Altman's "McCabe and Mrs Miller" is a solid watch with outstanding photography, costuming and setting. A bit meandering of a story, but one with rustic western charm; indeed the setting was wonderfully put together. Stars Beatty and particularly Christie turn in good performances. The music a too folksy though for the given settings and could've been done without. I enjoyed the buildup and business talk and frivolty between the leads. The finale feels a bit perfunctory, though realistic, and glad they handled the outcome without a tied bow and ribbon - and let it go at that Good romantic Western though sound not too good - a bit of a letdown. Still solid 7/10.
