Wissenswertes
The film is dedicated to actress Barbara Ruick who appears in the movie as a barmaid and who died on location during the filming. The end title card memorializing this reads: "FOR BARBARA 1933-1973". She was married to composer John Williams, who had worked with Robert Altman the previous year on "The Long Goodbye". It is to be noted that a great many female characters in the film are called "Barbara", possibly in tribute to Ruick.

Patzer
Some of the balls hanging from Charlie's sombrero keep changing position throughout the scene.

Zitate
Bill Denny: Goddamnit, lady, you don't throw oranges on an escalator!

Alternative Versionen
The DVD cuts approximately three minutes worth of incidental scenes and bits, because the distributor was either unable or unwilling to reach an arrangement for music licensing.

I was lucky

I was fortunate enough to see California Split this past weekend on the big screen. The American Film Institute (AFI) Theater in the Kennedy Center is currently (February '02) having a retrospective of Altman's 70s films, and, while I had never heard of the film, I was mysteriously drawn to it. I'm glad I went. The chemistry between Gould and Segal is amazing. It's is if they've been friends their whole lives. They seemed very relaxed and care-free. The story is sad yet exciting, the dialog witty and almost innocent, and the direction is, of course, great. Plus, there is a brief scene with a very young Jeff Goldblum, who plays Segal's boss.

If you happen upon this film on TV one late night, or it's shown in a theater near you for some reason, please see it. It's a lost treasure.
