but I just don't "get it", Opening Night is W-A-A-Y too long, a third of this could easilly be edited out(Spoiler) there's a scene at the start of Opening Night where a fan seeking an autograph is run over by a car outside a theater; this scene is borrowed chapter and verse by Pedro Almodovar in his film All About my Mother
The Killing of a Chinese Bookie is a gem; Ben Gazzara at his most lugubrious
3 x more to check out are "Husbands" and "Nicky and Mikey" which star John C. and Peter Falk
and "The Killers" stars John C., Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, Ronald Reagan; while not directed by Cassavetes, this bit of vintage noir can be filed under: *So Bad it's Good*

It's one of my all-time favorite films. It's so "life-like" it feels like a documentary.Where did he find "Mr Entertainment"????
yes, the films worth watching for him alone ( ! )Grins
Opening Night is the only one I've seen twice because I felt it was perhaps my favorite. On second viewing it did seem long and meandering. I still liked it very much though, and find it hard to be too critical of his films as they offer things not often seen in American cinema.I just saw Nicky and Mikey a few months ago for the first time, and thought it was pretty interesting.
I think I may have seen The Killers a very long time ago, but am not sure. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the other Cassavetes films I haven't seen, like Husbands.
