Presented at the Criterion Theater. Running time: 1 hour, 55 minutes. MPAA rating: (Restricted under 17 not admitted without parent or guardian). THE CAST: John McCabe Warren Beatty Constance Miller lulie Christie Sheehan Rene Auberionois Butler Huah Millai Ebf Most people don't realize it, but there's a simple device doctors use to keep themselves trim. It's called the bathroom scale! Here's the secret of how to use it the way doctors do.

He's also a pushover for Mrs. Miller. Unable to articulate his feelings towards her, he is reduced to a belching drunkard. M--S. Miller," rht- and Ioew's Cine Thf.ttt-i s.

Characters are never intro-duc-fd.

They ilrift in and out. It is only Miller who announces herself. She immediately takes charge and helps develop business, a bordello of tent, into a plush "house" using "only class girls." THE TOWN in the raw becomes a semblance of a community as the film progresses. One is made aware of its gTOwth In little ways, the plain boards of Mrs. Miller's establishment suddenly acquire wallpaper.

More anil more characters appear and disappear. A steam-run contraption rattles into town bearing Mrs. Miller and winds up being used as a fire engine. Again Altmi'n never states or explains. He suggests the passing of time and one has to catch his clues.

His concern is not to unravel a plot, but to capture an atmosphere or a feeling and this he does beautif ully even to the point of softening the color so that the film has a faded, antique look to it. AS FOR MrCABE and Mrs. Miller, they are two wonderfully engaging characters as played by Warren Beatty and Julie hristie. Beatty has never seemed more at ease in a role. His sudden, trusting smiles, exposing a gold tooth, give McCabe away.

We know that his toughness his "big rep" as a gunfighter is all pretense. AS A he's an innocent bahe-in-the-woods, not that he realizes it. When a smooth-talking huvyer promises that his story as a small business- When he does try to talk to her about his fear, he starts to cry. It's enough to make anyone cheer and everyone does when the wounded McCabe fires a last shot at the big, burly villain of the piece. AS FOR Miss Christie, she gives the best performance of her career as Mrs.

Miller. With her "AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING FILM! A TOPNOTCH THRILLER! David Hemmings is no less than brilliant! The Hitchcockian ideal of sunlit horror is achieved! A breath-clinching suspense film whose terror lies in the unseen!" Judith Crist, New York Magazine "Will shock the pants off of you! The worst kind of terror but the best kind of story! John Schubeck, WABC-TV "A taut suspense drama. Will keep you guessing." -New York Dally Newt "This taut, terrifying and riveting movie demands a mature audience capable of dealing with an unusually graphic linkage of sex and violence. So well done. So real and harrowing.
