Prizzi's Honor: this one makes the Sopranos look tame

Date of Review:  Aug 15, 2002
The Bottom Line: Great acting, direction, script -- and it's much better than most gangster films. Not for children.
Review: Every now and then, Hollywood takes a book, and makes a movie that outshines the novel. This was one of those films. Directed by the late John Huston, it took a funny, grim novel about the Mafia, and turned it into one of the more interesting films...

PRIZZI'S HONOR: John Huston's Parody of THE GODFATHER.

Date of Review:  Jul 26, 2000
The Bottom Line: PRIZZI'S HONOR is John Huston's perverse, perhaps autobiographical parody of The American Family, suggesting a black comedic version of THE GODFATHER.
Review: "My dear, crime is just a left handed form of human endeavor." Thus spoke Emmerich, the crooked lawyer in John Huston's influential film noir: THE ASPHALT JUNGLE (1950). He might have been speaking of PRIZZI'S HONOR. Or of Art. John Huston committed...
