      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 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,...
