A brilliant, offbeat drama of frontier life starring Warren Beatty and Julie Christie. This is Altman's personal and poetic interpretation of an American myth, resulting in a truly original western and one of the great films of its era. "A beautiful pipe dream of a movie...Delicate, richly textured, and unusually understated..." (Pauline Kael, The New Yorker). Also starring Shelley Duvall, Keith Carradine, Michael Murphy and William Devane. The exceptional cinematography is by Vilmos Zsigmond and the songs are by Leonard Cohen.
