"California Split" portrays compulsive gamblers Bill Denny (George Segal) and Charlie Walters (Elliott Gould). By compulsive, I mean that these guys gamble on EVERYTHING. Needless to say, it occasionally gets them in trouble, to the point where they have to go in for a final showdown.
Robert Altman actually used to have a gambling problem, so I'm assuming that he based this movie on what he experienced during those years. Anyway, it's as relevant today as it was in 1974, a look into the gambling world. Segal and Gould do a good job, as does the supporting cast (including a then-unknown Jeff Goldblum).
