      Honor of the Pritz family

      "The Honor of the Prytz Family" is the representative work of the American director John Houston in his later years, filmed in 1984. This film won almost all the "Golden Globe" awards in the United States, but at the 58th Oscars in 1985, except for the "Best Supporting Actress" awarded by John Houston’s daughter Angelica Houston , And no big gains. It seems that there is a rule in the United States, and movies that are often popular in other film festivals are difficult to win...

      John Huston and classic Hollywood

      The "Honor of the Pritz Family" in 1985 is still the classic Hollywood flavor of the 1940s and 1950s, especially in several aspects (although there are obvious traces of the godfather, especially the first wedding):

      It changed from black and white to color, and the lighting changed from cold and hard to natural and soft, and even used a lot of outdoor scenes and natural light. The composition is basically the same, mainly triangular composition, occasionally abrupt...

    Movie plot

    The Pulitzer family is a cruel and violent family. The standard of their honor is to trample on the law and break the bones of their opponents. Charlie Paterna ( Jack Nicholson ) is a killer in this family, but he doesn't agree with such honor standards, at least in his mind he thinks so.
    At the wedding of a family member, he rejected Menos Pulitzer ( Anjelica Huston ), who had long admired him, because he met the beautiful Irene Walker...

    Background creation

    A black comedy filmed by the famous director John Huston in his later years, with gangsters as the theme. The director's daughter, Anjelica Huston, won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her unique performance. What's interesting is that, just like in the movie, she and Nicholson had just broken up at the time, which is an out-and-out artistic imitation of life. Strong cast: Jack Nicholson, Kathleen Turner, Anjelica Huston,...

    Movie quotes

    • Charley Partanna: Do I ice her? Do I marry her?

    • [Charlie is telling Maerose about Irene]

      Charley Partanna: I met her in a church. It just happened. I knew she was the woman for me. She'd organized the scam in Vegas. I go looking for the bad guy and it turns out to be my woman, can you imagine this? Not only that - Pop tells me she's the piece man for the Nettabino contract. Just the same, I love her, Mae... I love her.

      Maerose Prizzi: Well...

      Charley Partanna: How can I live with this? I gotta do something about it. I gotta straighten it out.

      Maerose Prizzi: Then do.

      Charley Partanna: Do what? Do I ice her? Do I marry her? Which one of these?

      Maerose Prizzi: Marry her, Charley. Just because she's a thief and a hitter doesn't mean she's not a good woman in all the other departments. If she was some kind of fashion model, well it wouldn't last more than thirty days. But you and she is in the same line of business. You are lucky you found each other, you know that, Charley?

      Charley Partanna: Yeah, I guess.

      Maerose Prizzi: She's an American! She had a chance to make a buck so she grabbed it. Marry her, Charley. Then at least I'll be able to get something out of it... I'll be able to go back in the family.

      Charley Partanna: Yeah.

    • Eduardo Prizzi: [reading from the letter from Charley] "Dominic put out a contract on me..."

      Dominic Prizzi: He's a fuckin' liar!

      Eduardo Prizzi: You wanna hear the letter? Then listen, don't talk. There's about a 130 million dollars here, maybe more. We gotta renegotiate before we get it back. Just shut up and listen. Go on, sit down. Go on.

      [continuing to read from the letter]

      Eduardo Prizzi: "Dominic will say it's a lot of bullshit. But it so happens he hired my own wife and he gave her a down payment of 50 thousand dollars and my wife is sittin' here next to me and she's laughin' like hell. I personally think the Don found Dominic on a doorstep because Dominic is fifty times too dumb to be a Prizzi!"
