Only in a place like Cambridge can a theater keep bringing back a film like Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller. The Hollywood sharpies who financed it nearly walked out on the rushes.

The look and feel of a real old West mining town are both perfect, from Warren Beaty's cowardly lion of a gunslinger to the orientals segregated across the tracks. And if you don't understand why it moves so lethargically in spots--many...

It is an ambitious undertaking for a man who by day is a successful rock songwriter. "When I was 13, I got an autograph from Igor Stravinsky," Zevon recalls.
