Frida Film Club Members are invited to a free 50th anniversary screening of California Split, Robert Altman’s 1974 dramedy!
Carefree single guy Charlie Waters (Elliot Gould) rooms with two lovely prostitutes, Barbara Miller (Ann Prentiss) and Susan Peters (Gwen Welles), and lives to gamble. Along with his glum betting buddy, Bill Denny (George Segal), Charlie sets out on a gambling streak in search of the ever-elusive big payday. While Charlie and Bill have some lucky moments, they also have to contend with serious setbacks that threaten to derail their hedonistic betting binge.
Nominated for the Writers Guild of America’s Best Comedy (Written Directly for the Screen) award, California Split is a hidden gem that’s at turns funny and fascinating.
