Die Ehre der Prizzis

Charley Partanna (Jack Nicholson) is a clever, ice-cold killer. In order to defend the honor of his employer, the powerful US mafia family Prizzi, he walks over dead bodies for professional reasons. And now he is also to marry the granddaughter of a godfather. But the wedding falls through, because between two jobs, Charley falls head over heels in love with the excitingly shady professional colleague Irene Walker (Kathleen Turner). His life is coming apart at the seams and in his euphoria he overlooks the fact that behind the beautiful façade of his lover there are some unpleasant surprises. Because Irene is tasked with eliminating Charley.
