Anjelica Huston owned every minute of every scene in this movie ! I love her, she is so talented and beautiful

I dont know if it was intentional but he resembles a ghoulish Nosferatu especially when he hunches & pushes the bowl of cookies with his long fingers, & creepy gravely voice. Brilliant! This whole scene made me nervous. Also im sure added makeup was used to make Mr. Hickey seem older. A great role of his long career.

"Anudda cookie my deah?" Hickey stole every damn scene he was in! LOVE this flick!

Yes he did

Allegedly, what really unlocked this character for Hickey was John Huston telling him that he's playing a lizard.

can you imagine he was only 58 at the time of the movie? he looks like hes 95 here.

This movie doesn't get enough credit for how great it was.

This guy plays the voice of Finklestein AKA the Evil Scientist in The Nightmare before Christmas.

@@kdohertygizbur Yep, that's true. However, D. Ameche gave his own little recital as Mortimer Duke in 1983's "Trading places".

Forget Brando. Hickey was the best Godfather on film. Brando could never be this funny, endearing and dangerous in the same scene. The Academy missed a big one here.

Hickey is brilliant… …..we forgive nothing…….

William Hickey was the BEST!!! What a scary, frightening monster! Nobody, but nobody has as sinister or evil a sounding voice as William Hickey! He's the best part of the film, and I would say definitely the scariest and most macabre mobster ever!!! :D

"what would that do to Charlie Partanaaahh?"

Hickey lived a hard friggin life he died at 69...looked like his was in his 80s his last 10 years.

What I find hard to believe is that Hickey was only 57 when this was filmed. Looks well into his 80's here.. Awesome actor though

Kindness isn't to be construed as "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."

Carlo Gambino, Have a cookie?

What a great movie. Dark comedy at it's best. But then you have all those damn talented Huston people in it! From the old man in Serria Madre with Bogart to John and the african queen, outside of the Barrymores, the Hustons were Hollywood royalty.

Hickey it´s like an awesome decadent vampire.

Remember Mr. Hickey guesting on "Wings"? He was super.

Hickey cracks me up. he is too funny.

Rumor has it that the old man was really playing the Great Carlo Gambino !

I don't know why this isn't considered a classic, "we forgive nothing" is one of my favourite moves quotes of all time. William Hickey says it with such vehemence, you can only guess how many men have died as a result of his zero forgiveness policy.

"I have always enjoyed gifts."

Charley Partanna “you want me to clip Irene????” 🤣😂😅

It’s incredible that Hickey didn’t win the Oscar.

"To do what you AX..." Hickey paid attention. View a clip of him with Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder singing "By the Light of the Silvery Moon" during the play intermission in The (original) Producers. I'd like to see his performance as the seriously dispersed astronaut in Kurt Vonnegut Jr's Between Time and Timbuktu.

Just got a comment from someone who called the film "a parody of the mafia" and that I probably didn't know it was adapted from a book. a) Yes, I am aware it is adapted from a book (I'm a teacher: I read books); and b) no, sorry, but the "mafia" is a criminal terrorist gang in Palermo, Sicily, these are (again) FICTIONAL American characters. The only thing being parodied here are Italian Americans. Fighting stereotypes by creating the same stereotypes isn't parody. It is blatant mockery. BTW: Liking the film doesn't mean you're "anti-Italian." It does mean that you've become so innoculated against the crude quality of these stereotypes that you defend them without attempting to look at them critically. Every single performer in this film hams it up, outrageously. The only purpose, again, is mockery.

Because i'd like to point out that your own mocking tone via my response is precisely what endless films like this have encourged, and hardened, in viewers--the idea that Italians are dimwits. "Manchurian Candidate" remains a fine movie. Plenty of wit but no mean-spirited caricatures.

Thanks for everything! Here’s a little something for you: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h4SAxbKFpN23XbA.html

C'mon, everyone: Please stop. This performance is the Italian American equivalent of what Stepin' Fetchit was to Blacks and the Frito Bandito was to Hispanics: a crude caricature. Good make-up doesn't equal good acting. Same thing with the exaggerated Noo Yawk accents. And I hate to break it to everyone but these are FICTIONAL characters who have no relation to real-life Italian Americans---just to the caricatures of them. It's 2021: Wake up!

Pipe Down , this movie is A Wonderful self parody of the Mafia You obviously never read the novel or more than likely even knew it is even based on a Novel Get off your soapbox and actually educate yourself before spouting off on things that you have no comprehension about

Her accent here sucks , inconsistent and not very genuine sounding. Still a great performance .

sorry but. I saw this movie yesterday just for Jack Nicholson and William Hickey, and in my opinion is not so great as everyone says, the pace it's so slow and boring, I almost fell asleep, it looks so bad for a 1985 movie.... I'm not saying is terrible but I expected more.. Jack Nicholson deserved something better.
