" John Huston's 'Prizzi's Honor' is a hybrid of gangster film, film noir, and screwball comedy that reflected anxiety about the power of women in the 1980s. Gangster films traditionally ignore the significance of marriage, film noir rejects it, and screwball comedy affirms marriage's regenerative possibilities. 'Prizzi's Honor' begins by following romantic comedy considerations and concludes with dominant gangster values that find the woman too threatening to absorb, forcing her husband to kill her."
