McCabe & Mrs. Miller 1971
A perfect movie. Robert Altman's McCabe & Mrs. Miller is a western that follows the story of our two main characters, one a gambler and the other a sex worker as they work towards building the town of Presbyterian Church, Washington, from just one run-down saloon into a thriving mining community.
