It's older than 1977, but yeah Ray Walston calls a horse race. He's doing it shortly after the race has already been run so they can rip off Robert Shaw.

You're right! Wikipedia says it was released in 1973, but another source says 1977. What a strange discrepancy

I need to watch the movie again. When it was on last night, I wasn't really paying attention to the screen, but I kept it hearing voices I recognized. Eileen Brennan hit me immediately, followed by Ray Walston

This is only the second time I've watched it. I'm having a hard time getting engaged, but I haven't tried very hard. This great cast, combined with the reputation of the movie, make it deserving of my full attention

Thank you for answering

It's one of my favorites! I actually just watched it again a couple of days ago. Lots of great names in the cast and I love the piano music.

Watch it twice with your full attention.

The first time to appreciate the movie.

The second time to appreciate the movie even more as you pick up the hints you overlooked the first time.
