Lenny and Coco

McCabe and Mrs. Miller


Listen Later

In the thrilling conclusion to the first "Lenny and Coco at the Movies" series, we discuss Robert Altman's renowned 1971 anti-western McCabe and Mrs. Miller. Three songs from Leonard Cohen's first album are featured in the film—"The Stranger Song"; "Sisters of Mercy"; and "Winter Lady"—as well as some bits from the recording sessions that are unhearable anywhere else. But beyond that, McCabe and Mrs. Miller is a landmark piece of cinema, demolishing outdated ideas of the Old West and capturing the moment when Robert Altman's style truly crystallized.
