California Split -- If it s Robert Altman it s not a gamble. George Segal ( Just Shoot Me ) and Elliot Gould (M*A*S*H) play the ponies and poker all the way to Reno in this gritty '70s classic.

A down on his luck gambler (George Segal) links up with free spirit Elliot Gould at first to have some fun on, but then gets into debt when Gould takes an unscheduled trip to Tijuana.

A film set mainly in casinos and races, as the two win and lose (but mainly win), get robbed, and get blind drunk.

A high-rolling comedy about two friends with an uncontrollable urge to score.
