		Robert Altman was born on February 20th, 1925 in Kansas City, Missouri, to B.C. (an insurance salesman) and Helen Altman.
		Altman may have firm control over everything that happens on screen but it feels like the controlling purpose or thesis of the film is not to have one.

		Known as a maverick director (a label he denies), Altman eschews the market-oriented climate of Hollywood, refusing to bow to studio demands and insisting on total control over his material.

		Following that, the Altman eccentricities I'm fondest of, and a plea for a DVD release of one of his most divisive films.
