...swell of the voices and cocktail clinks downstairs lapping up and down like the sea. The kid knows more than they do. The reviewer who said they thought that the stoned members of the audience found California Split too fast to follow was dead wrong. It's movie to swim...
...FACT you have to swim, because an upright analytical approach to this graceful and observant film will leave you cold and bored. It's not, as some have charged, that Altman has nothing to say.

RoAnn Costin '74, swim team captain and past member of the crew, sums up the women's status: "As long as you show you're willing to train like a man, Harvard will accept you," she says. "And then if there's no threat on the men's program, facilities, or funding, there's no restriction on women...
