John Huston's terrifically dark comedy adapted to the screen by William Condon from his novel is a great spin on a mob family. Jack Nicholson is very good and fun to watch as the mob hit-man who marries Kathleen Turner, who happens to be a contract hit-man herself. The two are joined by an outstanding supporting cast including Hustons daughter Angelica who won an Oscar for her sly performance. The second family member to be directed to an Oscar by John, his father Walter won in '48 for "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre". William Hickey got a well deserved Oscar nomination as the old Don of the mob family. Huston's direction and the funny script add color to this great period piece.
