Plot:	When club owner Cosmo Vitelli (Ben Gazzara) runs afoul of gangsters, he is forced to commit a horrible crime to save his beloved club and his way of life in this thought-provoking examination of desperation and masculine identity.
Overview:	John Cassavetes engages film noir in his own inimitable style with The Killing of a Chinese Bookie. Ben Gazzara brilliantly portrays gentlemen's club owner Cosmo Vitelli, a man dedicated to pretenses of composure and self-possession. When he runs afoul of a group of gangsters, Cosmo is forced to commit a horrible crime in a last-ditch effort to save his beloved club and his way of life. Suspenseful, mesmerizing, and idiosyncratic, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie is a thought-provoking examination of desperation and masculine identity.
