Bo Harwood wrote and recorded the music threaded through John Cassavetes's films, and a new LP gathers eleven recordings straight from his master tapes, from A Woman Under the Influence to Love Streams. To launch it, Anthology screens The Killing of a Chinese Bookie on 35mm, with Ben Gazzara's career-best turn as a strip-club owner in debt to the mob. If you love Cassavetes, this is a one-time pairing.
