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.
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
