Ben Gazzara brilliantly portrays gentlemen's club owner Cosmo Vitelli, a man dedicated to 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 and idiosyncratic, the film is a riveting examination of desperation and masculine identity. (Presented as a part of YBCA's February film series: "Bros Before Hos: Masculinity and its Discontents.")
