36 The GAZETTE, Montreal, Aug. 7, 1971 McCabe Mrs. Miller A beautiful movie about a way of lite just about everyone eke in the town. Besides that, the movie is visually very beautiful. There's nothing quite like a tree-covered mountain on a rainy afternoon and the film is full of them.

Also snowstorms and smoky saloon interiors. For director Robert Altman, McCabe must be a source of satisfaction. So different from his 'AS'1I or his Brewster McLoud, but another little masterpiece. McCABE MRS. MILLER Directed by Robert Alt-man; screenplay by Robert Altman and Bryan McKay, from the novel, McCabe, by Edmund Naughton; cinematography by Vilmos Zsigmond; production designed by Leon i with Warren Beatty, Julie Christie, Rene Auberjonois, Hugh Millais, Shelley Duvall, at the Cinema Cote des Neiges.

The town is really going then, and it isn't long before it catches the eye of the big, evil, competition-crushing giant corporation. And that spells trouble for McCabe. But that's only two peoples' stories.

They do dominate the film, but Unit's probably because they're the most interesting people in the town. Lots of other things happen as well: there are fights and new businesses and mail order brides and comedy and tragedy happening all the time, all' forming sections of the town quill. Thus, the important thing to remember when seeing this movie is not to anticipate plot developments, but rather to appreciate what happens as the town grows and things occur. Warren Beatty has created a character that is intriguing, one that is satisfying yet rich enough to allow further speculation. So, in her own way, has Miss Christie.

And so, for that matter, has By DANE LANKEN of The Gazette McCabe Mrs. Miller is not so much a movie, as a way of life. It's just not the normal sort of narrative, the kind of movie wherein the chief interest lies in thp story it tells. There is a definite sequence of events in this new Robert Allman film, but its real strength lies in the creation of a hazy, turn-of-the-century mood, in turn created through a study of the life and times of a small Northern mining town. SHANTIES Naturally, there are many characters in the town, some of them are on the screen pretty regularly, others only turn up now and then.

But as the film tells the town's story, not simply the story of one or two main characters, the viewer abandons his preconditioned quest for explanatory details, and accepts, oil Atronf SPECIAL PARKING RATE FOR PATRONS OF LOEW'S, PALACE, CAPITOL, PIGALLE CINEMAS PLACE VILLE MARIE CONVENIENT AND REASONABLE AT CANADA-WIDE PARKING SERVICE IN VILLE-MARlE SAT. 5 P.M.

Then, one drizzly afternoon, McCabe (Warren Beatty) drifts into town wearing a beard, a great bearskin coat and a bowler hat. Soon he has constructed a new saloon and imported a trio of whores, and the town is given new life.

"WHEN "One to see" The Gazette 14 YEARS that have appeared in updated each week. BIG JAKE John Wayne plays John Wayne playing in a western, unless you rush to see every one of his movies and can overlook the fact that he doesn't have any interesting lines to read in this one. Richard Boone supplies the best minutes as a villian who kidnaps Wayne's grandson. At the BANANAS The latest laff-riot from Woody Allen is a series of comic situations tied together with a loosely woven story about a South American banana republic. Nothing escapes Allen's wit and his friends including the one and only Howard Cosell are terrific too.

A very funny movie at the York. NO BLADE OF GRASS GET CARTER Here's a good double bill, if you like your movies a little chilling. No Blade of Grass is Cornell Wilde's story of ecological disaster and what happens to humanity when it's up against the wall and Get Carter is Michael Caine as a cold-blooded killer out to avenge his brother's death.

Visually striking, exciting and literate entertainment at the PVM Little Cinema. THE ANDERSON TAPES Sean Connery is the leader of a gang of thieves whose comings and goings are well-known to the police, who are always around watching, taping or photographing their escapades. Naturally, there's a collision at the end and It's one that'll have you on the edge of your seat. It's at the Atwater I. DR.

NO -FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE Sean Connery again, in his best-known role as James Bond, who as Superspy 007 has a license to kill for Queen and country. You've orobably seen both of these epics from the Ian Fleming series of books, but they're still good entertainment and might even whet your taste for the new Bond film, Diamonds Are Forever, which is now being filmed. They're at the Atwater II. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HELEN? All kinds of Creepy Things in this one, but the prime CT is mental illness, in the mind of Shelley Winters, who with Debbie Reynolds runs a school of dance and theatre for children. Unfortunately, it's not the Hitchcock type of Creepy Things, but the kind that make you a little ill.

It's been going for more than eight months at the Westmount Square.

SUMMER OF '42 Summer of '42 is about kids in the Good Old Days, when things weren't so complex and everyone was eminently normal. Nostalgia? Absolutely, but it's a beautiful film that appeals to all ages. It's at the Avenue. PLAZA SUITE Walter Matthau, Maureen Staple-ton, Lee Grant and others make Neil Simon's trilogy about a suite in a hotel room and the people who occupy it, a movie that combines sadness, pathos, humor and high comedy into a perfect package.
