The Legendary Isleij Brothers Perform
Faithful
Chazz Palminteri and Cher star in the black comedy Faithful.
Cher stars with Chazz Palminteri
and Ryan O ’Neal in Faithful, a
black-comedy about a wife who dis
covers that her husband has hired a
hit man to kill heron their twentieth
wedding anniversary. Produced by
Robert DeN iro and Jane Rosenthal,
the film was directed by Paul
Mazursky (Enemies, A Love Sto
ry)-
This sexy, comedic thriller writ
ten by actor-writer Chazz Palm interi
(A Bronx Tale) takes a satiric look
at the institutions of trust, honor and
fidelity when matrimony leads to
murder.
The film opens as depressed
housewife Margaret O ’Donnell
(Cher) comes home from shopping
to find a hit man (Palminteri) wait
ing for her. A suspenseful game of
seduction ensues as Tony helps
Margaret regain her self-respect,
and the victim helps the hit man
confront his own demons.
The plot takes a memorable twist
when Margaret’s not-so-innocent
husband, Jack (O'Neal), arrives on
the scene. No wonder the befuddled
assassin periodically telephones his
psy ch iatrist (played by Paul
Mazursky) for advice on how to
handle the increasingly confusing
situation.
Executive produced by Peter
Gatien (A Bronx Tale) and co-pro
duced by Geoffrey Taylor, Faithful
is presented by New Line Cinema
and Savoy Pictures and was re
leased nationwide by New Line on
April 3, 1996.
After 20 years of marriage, Mar
garet O ’ Donnel I (Cher) thought she
was the target of her husband’s af
fection.
She was only half right.
The Isley Brothers performed at
the 10th Annual Soul Train Music
Awards After Party at the House of
Blues. The event was co-sponsored
by Island Records’ Black Music and
Don Cornelius Productions.
The Isley Brothers performed old
songs and new tunes from their up
coming album Mission To Please,
due in-stores in May 14. Mission to
Please is produced by R. Kelly, An
gela Winbush and Ronald Isley and
features works with Babyface and
Keith Sweat.
Mission To Please is filled with
tunes that provide the perfect back
drop for one-on-one, late night love
sessions. The title track features Emie
Isley’s distinctive guitar playing and
Ronald’s vocal magic. “Let’s Lay
Together” is the first single from the
new album.
Ronald also performed on the I Oth
Annual Soul Train Music Awards in
a tribute to Patti LaBelle.
