I don't know why I thought Cassavetes starred in that film...of course it was Gazzara..who was amazing in it. It is a very long film, but held my attention. It also portrayed mobsters and bookies in the most realistic manner that I've ever seen on film...not that I'm an expert in that culture, but my youth was spent with plenty of those guys. I don't know much about John Cassevetes, but I've always enjoyed his acting. "The Killers" and "Rosemary's Baby" are memorable largely because of his dangerous, intense performances. Whatever problems he may have had his talent came through in his work.
Baba-Booey to you all!
