Classic adult western by brilliant director
One of the best of the late sixties/ early seventies alternative westerns. I have always loved this movie and now that it is getting harder to find on DVD I went ahead and bought it. I Had forgotten how wonderful this movie is on so many levels. The direction by Robert Altman (Fresh off of MASH, and Brewster McCloud) has a feeling of authenticity in both production and performance, that places this film among the best of his movies. The fact that the cast and crew went to Canada and hand built a late 19th century western town, then lived in it for three months is astounding. This movie was made before computer graphics were available and the cinematography is Oscar worthy. The use of flashing ( exposing the film to miniscule amounts of light during developing) to give the film negatives and movie the look of a deurogatype. The casting in the movie is also excellent.
Warren Beatty and Julie Christie are complete equals in this movie. Two performers at the top of their game. They are aided by some of the best character actors of the period such as Bert Remson, and Altmans regular cast of featured players. Warren Beatty and Julie Christie were dating during the making of this movie and their characterizations demonstrate how comfortable they were with each other. If you are looking for an adult themed western that stands the test of time , pop this one into the player. LEMIII

these pickles rock
I love these pickles because they aren't too sour. They taste sour without puckering you up. One of the best sour pickles I have ever had.

Enjoy it on a rainy day.
A good story with a competent cast. Binge it all at once.
