Oscar
In crime and comedy, timing is everything.
Directed by John Landis
Produced by Joseph S. Vecchio Entertainment, Touchstone Pictures
A lighthearted, energetic comedy about a mobster's earnest attempt to honor his father's deathbed wish by going straight, built on physical humor, mistaken identities, and the clash between crime and respectability.
Angelo "Snaps" Provolone made his dying father a promise on his deathbed: he would leave the world of crime and become an honest businessman. Despite having no experience in making money in a legal fashion, Snaps sets about to keep his promise.
