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):

Movie quotes

Charley Partanna: [On the telephone] Pop? Charley. I'm in L.A., and that ain't all. I'm gonna get married.

Angelo 'Pop' Partanna: Ah, the same woman, the contractor?

Charley Partanna: Yeah. She's Polish, but the family will get used to that gradually.

Angelo 'Pop' Partanna: Yeah, every time she walks in a room, all the rest of the women in the family are gonna have to shut up. But I know how you feel about it, Charley. I won't try to stop nature. Good luck, son.

Charley Partanna: Thanks, pop.

Angelo 'Pop' Partanna: Say listen, the Don wants you here for a big meeting tomorrow night.

Charley Partanna: Jesus, Pop, what about my honeymoon?

Angelo 'Pop' Partanna: Well, you'll have it in Brooklyn!

Charley Partanna: Aw, shit.

[Pop hangs up]
Charley Partanna: We've wasted a lot of time, Maerose.

Maerose Prizzi: [sarcastic] 4 years? Why didn't you wait until I was 50?

Charley Partanna: You could have been a fat tub of lard when you were 50.
Dominic Prizzi: Jeez Mae, you look awful. My beautiful daughter's turned into an old woman. Charlie Partanna did this to you. He had a chance to be godfather of the Prizzi family and he had no use for you.

Maerose Prizzi: Oh, he had a use for me pop. He came to my place in New York the night before he left to marry the woman in California, and he forced himself on me. He did it to me.

Dominic Prizzi: He did it to you.

Maerose Prizzi: Yeah, poppa. He screwed me three times, maybe four, I can't remember.

Dominic Prizzi: You wash out your filthy mouth, you hear? How can you say such things to your own father? He done that to you? Charlie? You sure?

Maerose Prizzi: Am I sure? Poppa you should see the size of him! You should.

Dominic Prizzi: Shut up! How can you say such things to your father? Where's your honor?

Maerose Prizzi: Are you kidding poppa? I have no honor any more.
