Film Info
A small-time Los Angeles nightclub owner falls for a lavish invitation to gamble at a private club. After losing high stakes on extended credit, he is pressured by a gangster to eliminate his debt by killing a rival underworld power referred to only as "the Chinese bookie." Ben Gazzara is staggering in his performance as the proud Cosmo Vitelli, a man who stoops to murder to protect his one and only love: his club. Directed by maverick John Cassavetes, this is a gritty, unorthodox, and beautiful film.
