Big Time Gambling Boss

Ginza, nighttime. A ringing telephone. A yakuza godfather sickens, gambling rackets hang in the balance. Loyalists angle for succession. One stoic lieutenant declines to play politics. Enjoyed best alongside Fukasaku's contemporaneous Battles Without Honor and Humanity cycle.
