Default Question about a gambling movie

Has anyone here seen a 1974 movie named "The California Split"? If so, was it any good?

I read about it in Amarillo Slim's book, he played a minor part in the movie.

it is an excellent film, one of robert altman's best, and one of the best movies about gambling ive ever seen, if not the best.

if you like california split you may also like nashville, that's his best film. some of his many other films however are extremely bad.
