Prizzi's Honor was made into a motion picture in 1985. Directed by John Huston, with a script written by Condon and Janet Roach, it featured Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner in the starring roles of Charley Partanna and Irene Walker. William Hickey, Lee Richardson, Robert Loggia, Anjelica Huston, and John Randolph were the most prominent members of a fine supporting cast. The film was commercially successful and was generally well received by reviewers, although a minority found it impossible to accept the premise that professional killers could be sympathetic protagonists.
