Chicago Reader review:
Still Robert Altman's best moment, this 1971 antiwestern murmurs softly of love, death, and capitalism. Warren Beatty is the two-bit gambler who falls in with whorehouse proprietress Julie Christie; together they grope toward money and oblivion.
Dave Kehr

Here (and above) is the trailer.
