Cosmo Vitelli, a nightclub owner is a model of restraint, and self-deception. His world gets upside down when he starts owing money to the mob after losing a poker game. His survival depends on the death of another person: a Chinese bookmaker. A blazingly dark film noir that was underrated on its original release to be held, later on, a masterpiece.
