this be another of robert altman underrated film ( let be honest and the only movie he make that really do not work be ready to wear ) and and sandy dennis give a spellbinding performance in it . she be far well here than she be in the out of towner . the material and i will admit and be beneath the great director altman and the extraordinary actress dennis and but that hardly matter anyway . as long a there allow to do their thing and do it well and just about any story will do .
