"McCabe & Mrs. Miller", directed by Robert Altman, is the 1971 action Western feature, filmed in Squamish, British Columbia, with background music consisting of three songs composed and performed by Leonard Cohen:
"...in 1902, gambler 'John McCabe' arrives mysteriously and mumbling to himself in the town of 'Presbyterian Church', named after its only substantial building, a tall but mostly unused chapel.
"McCabe quickly takes a dominant position over the town's simple-minded and lethargic miners, thanks to his aggressive personality and rumors that he is a gunfighter.
"McCabe establishes a makeshift brothel, consisting of three prostitutes. But when Brit cockney 'Constance Miller' arrives in town and tells him she could run a brothel for him more profitably, the two become financially successful business partners, open a higher class establishment including a bathhouse for hygiene, and a romantic relationship develops between the two.
"As the town becomes richer, 'Sears and Hollander',...

Christopher Plummer received the Oscar nomination for “All the Money in the World” that had been eyeballed for Kevin Spacey before his sexual misconduct scandal broke. But will Plummer actually win the Oscar that almost everyone is predicting for Sam Rockwell (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”)? According to one of our Editors, yes.
While six of our participating Editors are backing Rockwell for Best Supporting Actor, Matt Noble is banking on Plummer for the upset. None of our 19 participating Experts or Top 24 Users, who had the best scores last year, are picking Plummer. It’s not a unanimous vote for Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice and SAG champ Rockwell — Expert Kevin Polowy (Yahoo!), Editor Paul Sheehan and two Top 24 Users, John McCabe and Brandon, are in the camp for critical favorite Willem Dafoe (“The Florida Project”).
