Background
If I had a nickel for every great 1974 movie where the male lead had a bandaged nose for a significant portion of its runtime... well, California Split and Chinatown would yield me only 10 cents, but it would be well worth it for their shared existence.
Robert Altman's excellently chaotic meditation on gambling, California Split, was released 50 years ago today on August 7, 1974, starring Elliott Gould and George Segal as a pair of two-time losers who meet over an L.A. card game. Initially more of a recreational gambler, Segal's Bill Denny grows increasingly addicted through his friendship with Gould's Charlie Waters, a charismatic hustler constantly on the make between card games and the horse track for his next big score.
