Nashville***    

(US 1975)                  

Various political and personal melodramas one weekend at the Nashville country and western music festival.
A postscript to last year's 70s collection, with this splendid rambling multi-character comedy drama, smarter than MASH, made as a microcosm of the state of America, perhaps overreaching itself but full of memorable scenes and cameos, with the director at his most astute.

Written by: Joan Tewkesbury.
Producer/Director: Robert Altman.
Starring: Ned Beatty, Karen Black, Ronee Blakley, Keith Carradine, Geraldine Chaplin, Shelly Duvall, Allen Garfield, Henry Gibson, Scott Glenn, Jeff Goldblum, Barbara Harris, David Hayward, Michael Murphy, Christina Raines, Bert Remsen, Lily Tomlin, Gwen Welles, Keenan Wynn, Elliott Gould, Julie Christie, and others.
Music: Richard Baskin, various country and western songs.
Editing: Dennis Hill, Sidney Levin.
