Review
Prizzi’s
Honor
Directed by John Huston; screenplay
by Richard Condon and Janet Roach;
based on the novel by Richard Con
don; with Jack Nicholson, Kathleen
Turner, William Hickey, Anjelica
Huston.
Simply put, Prizzi's Honor is
weird. Very weird in fact. It
begins as a rather good natured,
lower-than-low key romantic
comedy but takes some very sub
tle turns under the cheery surface
and winds up a cynical, nasty lit
tle character study.
Jack Nicholson stars as mob hit
man Charley Partanna, a thickly
accented Brooklyn resident who is
sworn into the Prizzi clan through
a blood oath to Don Corrado
Prizzi (William Hickey). Charley
is a true blue "family" man but
one day he spots a beautiful
woman in a lavender dress attend
ing a family wedding and before
he can get to know her she dis
appears, possibly for good, for no
one knows who she is. But, low
and behold, she calls that night—
from California—to apologize
and they make a lunch date for
the next day (he flies over to make
it) and he asks her to marry him.
But it isn't quite that simple. You
see, Irene Walker (Kathleen Tinn
er) is also a hit person and she just
may be involved in a major scam
that bilked the family out of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
Charley is in a dilemma; "Do I ice
her? Do I marry her? Which one
of these?"
We're not even halfway
through the picture, but it gets
even more complicated after this.
Charley’s ex-fiance Maerose Prizzi
(Anjelica Huston) begins some
subtle scheming, deals are made
behind some backs and the audi
ence soon begins to sense that
something is brewing. What they
expect is a good natured battle of
wits, some clever plot twists and a
humourous course of events.
What Huston delivers is far more
black, cynical and mean spirited
than anyone has a right to expect.
I have to give Huston grudging
respect for his approach. Not just
unusual, his approach is almost
unique, a crazy blend of deadpan
seriousness and wildly imag
inative characters. The pace is so
leisurely and cool that it takes
almost half an hour to get into it;
the camera work is handsome and
simple. Huston uses long takes
with few movements and some re
markably effective slow zooms
which serve to isolate the char
acters from their environment for
a few moments.
The characters are in sharp con
trast to this style. The cast plays
everything with deadpan straight
ness but they are anything but
conventional types. Nicholson's
Charley has a face that looks as if
he's always shot up with novo
caine and eyes that are almost, but
not quite, blank. His cultural inhi
bitions and methodical slowness
are in sharp contrast to the bub
bly, energetic Irene, played with
animation by Turner. The fun
niest of the characters is Hickey's
Don Prizzi, a whiny, childlike pa
triarch whose wheezes and mut
terings punctuate a sing-song
voice that belies his pragmatic,
businesslike orientation and love
of money that transcends every
thing but honor.
With all of this meticulous at
tention to style and character to
create a mood, the ending comes
as an abrupt, alienating shock.
When I first saw it I was down
right angry at Huston for setting
me up, and though I find some
validity to his approach in retro
spect, I still feel the ending comes
close to being plain evil. Prizzi's
Honor simply is nothing like
you've ever seen, but that can be
both good and bad. If you invest
in the picture, you just might get
burned.
