Why It Crackles

Movie Details

One of the greatest movies about degenerate gamblers.

- Writer Joseph Walsh was a struggling actor who first worked on this story with then up and coming director, Steven Spielberg, who originally was going to direct.

- Steve McQueen was originally attached to star in this film.

- This was the first non-Cinerama movie to use eight-track stereo sound, which is notable because it fit well with Robert Altman’s trademark overlapping dialogue.
