An original 7x11" vintage photo (NOT a modern reprint) from a large collection of hundreds of original movie photos acquired from a film business estate. Photo is an original silver gelatin print, and most are part of "Concorde Film" prints.
Photo Overview
A color production still from John Huston\'s acclaimed 1985 black comedy thriller Prizzi\'s Honor. The scene shows a heavyset man in a tan suit being grabbed from behind by a figure dressed in a black leather jacket, black gloves, and a dark fedora-style hat -- a tense confrontation moment from this mob-world film. The photo is a large-format 7x11 inch original silver gelatin print from Concorde Film, and comes from a collection acquired from the estate of someone who worked in the film industry.
Prizzi\'s Honor starred Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner as competing mob hitmen who fall in love, with Anjelica Huston in an Oscar-winning supporting role. This still appears to capture a tense shakedown or threat scene, illustrating the film\'s darkly comic world of organized crime.
Historical Notes
Prizzi\'s Honor was directed by the legendary John Huston -- his second-to-last feature film -- and was a major critical and commercial success upon its 1985 release. The film received eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director for Huston, and Best Actor for Jack Nicholson. Anjelica Huston won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, her first Oscar. The film is widely considered one of John Huston\'s finest late-career achievements, and it brought renewed attention to the mob-comedy genre. John Huston passed away in 1987, making this era of production material particularly collectible as a document of his final creative years.
