An enterprising gambler and a bordello madam, both newcomers to the raw Pacific Northwest mining town of Presbyterian Church, join forces to provide the miners with a superior kind of whorehouse experience. The appearance of representatives of a powerful mining company with interests of its own, however, threatens to be the undoing of their plans.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

In this one, to me, Altman passed the point of aesthetic vision with the talking over and slow-paced atmospherics. submitted by lisa on July 30, 2019, 10:48am It works for me in M*A*S*H and Nashville, but this one... well, YMMD.

There's a Criterion version of Short Cuts in the library too. I recommend that one.
