What happens

Gambler's Farewell (Japanese: 博徒解散式, Hepburn: Bakuto kaisanshiki) is a 1968 yakuza film directed by Kinji Fukasaku starring Koji Tsuruta. It is the sixth film in the Bakuto (Gambler) series of films produced by Toei Studios. Fukasaku had previously directed Koji Tsuruta in a similarly titled film, Kaisanshiki (Ceremony of Disbanding), in 1967, but the two films are unrelated. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
