(John Cassavetes, US 1976, 109 min.)

In Cassavetes’ very personal neo-noir, Cosmo Vitelli (Ben Gazzara, in the performance of a lifetime), a small-time, but passionate, strip joint owner, gets in debt to the mob and is forced to commit the title act to make amends. Ben Gazzara, co-star Seymour Cassel, and producer-cinematographer Al Ruban will participate in a live discussion following the screening. No Take-10 tickets or passes.

Tickets are currently only available in person at the museum’s admission desk, or at the Dryden theatre box-office, 45 minutes before the screening. Tickets are no longer available by phone or online.
