In this clip, taken from the DVD extras for Robert Altman's classic western "McCabe and Mrs. Miller," Pauline Kael praises Altman's film and attacks the critics and gossip columnists who panned it.

Kael predicts that the movie will not be an immediate box office success, but that many years from now it will be looked back on as an important film. She was certainly right about that.

While the segment is dominated by Kael's take on "McCabe," they also briefly discuss her review of "Tora! Tora! Tora!" and the troubles at the studio that produced it, Twentieth Century Fox. The segment on "McCabe" begins around the 3:30 mark.
