Altman made a movie in the '70's called "California Split" - it has poker in the penultimate scenes, and I believe Amarrillo Slim was in the scene. I knew nothing about poker at the time, but it was a really decent flick....

California Split totally rocks. It's about a couple of gamblers. One of them does a hit and run at a big poker game with Amarillo Slim in it, then goes and plays table games.

Is it a movie or is it a documentary sort of deal? Sounds more like a documentary. Is it also a popular movie that I would be able to get ahold of somewhere/somehow?
