Booze, Broads and Blackjack was supposed to premiere in California April 10th. But that never happened thanks to Covid-19. Despite the disappointing setback – it still managed to scoop up several awards on both coasts.
The fast paced, gritty gangster production stars Vincent Pastore as an east coast strip club owner. It follows the exploits of his gambling, philandering nephew Jack King, (Joe Raffa) who is a radio personality, but side hustles for his uncle.
