Robert Altman

Studio 360 | Jan 11, 2011

With MASH, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, and Nashville, Robert Altman redefined American movies - and helped us understand America in the 1970s. He went on to create classics like Short Cuts and The Player, as well as Tanner '88 - the groundbreaking mockumentary of a political campaign. Kurt Andersen pays tribute to Robert Altman, who died this week, and we'll hear some of their conversation from 2003.
