Considered by some to be the greatest gambling film of all time, Robert Altman’s California Split is the funny, gritty story of some boisterous gambling buddies (George Segal and Elliot Gould) on a binge. As the two plunge deeper and deeper into the sleazy world of casinos, poker circles, and racetracks in search of a big payday, the stakes get higher and higher. The two actors are wonderful together as they win and lose (mostly win) and crack wise in this enjoyable film that is “dense with fine, idiosyncratic detail” (The New York Times).
