Prizzi's Honor (1985) starring Jack Nicholson, Kathleen Turner, Anjelica Huston. Directed by John Huston. Dim-bulb Mafia hit man Charley Partanna (Nicholson) falls for sultry freelance assassin Irene Walker (Turner) at a wedding. But the Don's daughter, Maerose Prizzi (Anjelica Huston) still carries a torch for Charley, and she won't let him go easily -- especially after Charley finds out that Irene pulled a scam on a Prizzi casino in Vegas. The plot gets awfully tangled, but it's delicious to watch. Huston won a Supporting Actress Oscar for her sly performance as a Mafia daughter. The subtitles are excellent. Grade: B+
