The film is less concerned with plot than behavior as a friendship develops between Bill Denny (George Segal) and Charlie Waters (Elliott Gould) over their mutual love of gambling. Charlie is a wisecracking joker and experienced gambler constantly looking for the next score. Initially, Bill isn’t as committed a gambler (he works at a magazine during the day) but he’s well on his way.

" Director: Robert Altman His 11th Movie My 14th movie watched from the director The Altman 8-track sound really took off here. This sort-of buddy comedy doesn't work as well as in MASH, as far as dialogue and flow, but I definitely liked it more than in "Nashville" which somehow received more accolades. This movie really showed off Gould's natural comedic presence and affability while still being a schmuck. He nails that persona, so does George Segal. And it's a reminder Segal was one of"

Mustanaamio7's Movie Diary 2020 (149 movies items)

"21.2. 2020 Two men waste their lives by gambling and just wandering around without any clear goals in their lives. Robert Altman's film probably tries to say something about dangerous addictions but it doesn't examine the characters at all and mostly the film consists of endless series of boring gambling scenes and pointless rambling."
