'McCabe and Mrs. Miller' and 'Nashville'

the robert altman classic 'mccabe and mrs.miller reunited julie and her former lover warren beatty. julie really stretched here playing an opium addicted madam in a small mining town. she received an academy award nomination for her 'mrs. miller'. she lost to jane fonda for 'klute'. a tough call really.

but the film is altman's all the way. along with 'nashville' they are classics. julie had a funny cameo in 'nashville' playing... well playing julie christie.

'Don't Look Now'

this may be the most underrated of the best of julie christie films. it boasts two brilliant performances by julie and donald sutherland. it also has the most beautiful love scene ever filmed between christie and sutherland. some say they were not acting including julie's lover at the time warren beatty. he tried to force director nicholas roeg to cut the scene from the final print.

what makes this scene all the more beautiful is that it's played in reverse. you'll have to see it to understand it. 'john's theme' played behind the scene is one of the most beautiful pieces of scoring written for a film by pino donaggio.

'The Go-Between' and 'Far from the Madding Crowd'

'far from the madding crowd' and 'the go-between' show julie at her radiant best. 1967 and 1970 respectively they gave julie cinema photographers who loved her. 'the go-between' is a classic. 'far from the madding crowd' based on the thomas hardy novel less so. it is based on dryer source material as are most hardy novels. the award winning combination of julie and director john schlessinger,straight off of 'darling' failed to save this at the box office. yet it is lush and boasts an attractive cast including peter finch, alan bates and a strikingly handsome terrence stamp.

oddly only 'far from the madding crowd is available on dvd.

1965: 'Darling' , 'Doctor Zhivago'

julie was the self centered period defining diana in 'darling' her oscar winning performance:








in 'doctor zhivago' julie portrayed lara antipov. some feel this should have been the nominated role. what the hell is the difference? julie was the best actress of the year no matter how they sliced it.
