  You should be able to find Long Goodbye as a VHS rental, though California Split is not available to the best of my knowledge. That aside, I do happen to have a decent quality copy of California Split and I do a bit of tape trading with stuff like this. I'd be open to getting you a copy if you'd like; just drop me an e-mail.

  http://www.amazon.com has "Goodbye" as a VHS.
  You might want to try http://www.gemm.com
  for the other title.
  What an enigmatic and inconsistent director Altman is. When he gets it right, as he does with the Long Goodbye, and MASH, he's just the best.
  Good luck with the hunt!
  Elliot Gould, what a disappearing act. After mid 70's he just drops off the board.

    "Nashville" and "M*A*S*H" is on DVD, both with the Director's audio commentary option...and that's about it. I believe his verrrry early "The James Dean Story" is also on a cheapy release DVD, too.

    Quite sad that "Images", "Quintet", "Brewster McCloud", "California Split", "Three Woman", "Tanner'88" cable Tv series with Michael Murphy, and especially "The Long Goodbye" isn't released on DVD. I Loved seeing Altman's Production of Alan Rudolphs' "The Late Show" and "Welcome To LA" on FLIX recently...another forgotten classic, along with the seldom now seen, "Thieves Like Us".

    Another overlooked director, Sam Peckinpah, is also given short shrift in the marketplace. "Major Dundee", "Ballad of Cable Hogue", "Ride The High Country"...and a director's cut of "Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia" and "Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid" have yet to see it to DVD.

    Maybe some day.
