Talk:List of crime films of the 1970s

Chinese Bookie
I've added three sources referring to the film as a crime film. Allmovie, a site used by notable sources such as the New York Times. The British Film Institute has a whole section dedicated to the film in it's book on crime films, and the company that released the film on home video Criteron Collection, in an essay by Phillip Lopate states that The Killing of a Chinese Bookie "Cassavetes even fulfills the genre contract with action sequences (rare for him) that involve shootings, chases, and sinister under lit garages, perhaps drawing on his own past experience as an actor in crime movies.". I have three strong sources aligning it to a genre. Just because it fits it in, doesn't mean it's going to be like Scarface or something. Crime films can very in style and artfulness anyways. Le Samourai by Melville isn't exactly the same as Goodfellas or Pulp Fiction. Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:06, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
