Prizzi's Honor

Imagine Jack Nicholson as Micheal Corleone, the young heir-in-waiting for Marlon Brando's Don Vito Corleone in the Godfather. While imagining give Micheal Corleone a comic twist, tone down a li'l bit of his youthful intensity and up a notch of dry wry Nicholson humor - you have Charley Partanna, a potential mob boss waiting in the wings in this laughworthy yet serious movie - Prizzi's Honor.

Says it got 8 Oscar nominations, one for Nicholson himself. Kathleen Turner and Angelica Huston play the female leads in the movie directed by John Huston. It could be called the love story between a mob hot shot and a hit woman or it could be just a comic satire on how the mob world works, whatever it is, it was enjoyable two hours.
