McCabe and Mrs. Miller. 1971. Directed by Robert Altman. 120 min.

Screenplay by Altman, Brian McKay. With Warren Beatty, Julie Christie, René Auberjonois, Michael Murphy. The director’s anti-Western taps into 1970s paranoia about the ruthlessness and long reach of corporate America. In the unforgiving frontier wilderness of Washington State in 1902, Christie’s cynical prostitute and Beatty’s hapless con man fall victim to deluded ambition, bravado, and despair.

Zinc Ointment. 1971. USA. Directed by Marianne Dolan. 9 min.

Footage from the set of McCabe and Mrs. Miller documents the complex production demands—and the good times—of location work in adverse conditions. Digital video presentation courtesy the Robert Altman Collection at the UCLA Film & Television Archive.

This film accompanies Robert Altman.
