RE: No contest:

Wow, AMAZING film (just saw the 1976 cut last night on dvd).

It is ART - almost surreal moments wrapped in a natural unfolding of time. Philosophical yet unjaded, credible and "just", well paced and shot with an eye for letting the life of the picture unfold naturally, "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" had me entranced. Ben Gazzara didn't get an Oscar for this?!! The writing and dialogue is fabulous. It somewhat reminded me of Wim Wenders' "The American Friend", from the same era.

Thanks for the recommendation!
