McCabe & Mrs. Miller is a 1971 "Anti-Western" film directed by Robert Altman and starring Warren Beatty as John McCabe, a mysterious gambler who partners with Constance Miller (Julie Christie), a British woman to establish a high-end brothel in a small mining town and subsequently runs into trouble with the mining company. The film was dubbed an anti-Western due to its subversion of the usual conventions of the Western film genre.
The following weapons were used in the film McCabe & Mrs. Miller:
Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Gasser Montenegrin
John McCabe (Warren Beatty) carries as his sidearm a Gasser 2nd Model Montenegrin. In the beginning of the movie, when McCabe first arrives and is thought to be an infamous gunfighter, the minor characters incorrectly mention his gun as being some sort of fancy Swedish revolver, when it is in fact Austrian-designed for the Balkan market, and frequently made in Belgium.
Remington 1866 Derringer
McCabe also carries a Remington 1866 Derringer, which was spoken of but not seen until the very end of the movie.
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
McCabe carries a large double-barreled shotgun during the beginning of the final "chase" in the movie, though it is claimed by the preacher and McCabe doesn't press the issue.
Colt Single Action Army
Two characters are specifically known to be carrying Colt Single Action Army revolvers, as shown in the memorable scene on the bridge. Kid (Manfred Schulz) picks on Cowboy (Keith Carradine) and forces him to "draw," asking if he can see his Colt to see if there's something wrong with it.
Unknown large bore rifle or single-shot shotgun
The assassin Butler (Hugh Millais) carries a gigantic rifle - or, more likely, a single-barrelled shotgun - that we never get a really clear look at. I hope someone in-the-know can clue us in.
