The Killing of a Chinese Bookie
The Killing of a Chinese Bookie ★★ 1976 (R)
Gazzara runs a Sunset Strip nightclub and is in hock to loan sharks. When he can't come up with the cash, he's offered a deal—get rid of a troublesome Chinese bookie and all debts will be forgiven. But it turns out the bookie is highly connected in the Asian mob and nothing goes as planned. Cassavette's improv technique makes for a self-indulgent and endless film. 109m/C VHS, DVD . Ben Gazzara, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Zizi Johari, Soto Joe Hugh, Robert Phillips, Timothy Carey, Morgan Woodward; D: John Cassavetes; W: John Cassavetes; C: Frederick Elmes.
