Cosmo Vittelli, the proprietor of a sleazy, low-rent Hollywood cabaret, has a real affection for the women who strip in his peepshows and the staff who keep up his dingy establishment. He also has a major gambling problem that has gotten him in trouble before. When Cosmo loses big-time at an underground casino run by mobster Mort, he isn't able to pay up. Mort then offers Cosmo the chance to pay back his debt by knocking off a pesky, Mafia-protected bookie.

An interesting character study.... but I have a really hard time making it out to be anything more than that.

I like Ben Gazzara a lot, and loved him in this movie. He has a minor conversation at the beginning with a cab driver about growing up in New York and I thought it was so endearing. But this movie didn’t really come together for me–a little meandering, unfocused, and uninteresting. To me it felt like it was built as a character study, but there was too much extra fluff. Better editing might have helped.
