For anyone with XM, Chuck Wilson is hosting a thing about the Stadium, and right now they are playing famous play by play calls - they are going through the no hitters right now.
Abbott's is my favorite, because its the first one I remember. I was too little to watch when Rags did it.
Of course its a lot of Sterling, but for Abbott, they used the TV account - the first time I've heard Dewayne Staats' voice as a Yankee announcer in a long time.
Boy, was Altman ever on a roll there in the early 1970s, or what? Eight movies in five years -- six of which I think are bone fide classics (including this one). He followed "The Long Goodbye" with "Thieves Like Us," "California Split," and "Nashville," bang-bang-bang, all in a row. Wow! Quite a track record.
Alex, you shoulda gone for the redesigned poster by Mad Magazine's Jack Davis, once UA realized they couldn't sell it like a typical Marlowe flick.
Seems like most Chandler freaks hate Altman's movie, but I love it. Granted, I'm an Altman freak as well as a Chandler freak.
6 California Split is one of the great lost flicks of the 70s - it needs a rediscovery.
