The alcoholic McCabe, who at first seems to be controlling the situation with finesse, finds out that his control is an illusion, as the unfolding events trap him in an increasingly difficult situation\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">McCabe &amp; Mrs Miller is a story of two entrepreneurs, their American dream \u2013 how it comes face to face with the expressionless greed of a larger corporation. Mrs. Miller (Julie Christie) sees potential in the growing town as the headquarters of her bordello, but McCabe faces trouble from tough guys sent by the larger business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this turning point in history, as historian Ralph Brauer observes, industry and wealth, decency, school and church tread on the frontier spirit. With Sam Peckingham\u2019s work, the Western developed in a slightly more pessimistic direction. Altman, too, operates in a rough and realistic stylistic space. He situates his landmark, cool-as-snowfall modern Western in the melancholic mindscape of a developing, dishcloth-damp, dingy frontier town.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vilmos Zsigmonds\u2019s (e.g. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Long Goodbye<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 1973) camera captures poetic, dimly naturalistic imagery as Leonard Cohen\u2019s immortal ballad\u2019s play.
