Today's western is Robert Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller (1971).
(WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS)
I left timestamps on a comment on the video so they can be skipped over (just follow the link).
This is one of the few films I hadn't seen before doing this project and I really liked it. I generally prefer more classic westerns to their subversive brethren, so the fact that I liked it as much as I did speaks to the talent of director Altman (who I am familiar with via his work on 60's television series Combat!).
Tomorrow we will look at a western that is subversive in a completely different way.
