Sylvester_Stallone gives comedy another try in this farce set in the 1930s. Angelo "Snaps" Provelone (Stallone) is the wealthy and powerful head of the Chicago mob, but his ailing father (Kirk_Douglas) doesn't approve of his life in crime, and on his deathbed, Dad makes Snaps promise to go straight. Determined to honor his late father's wishes, Snaps decides to go into banking -- just as his life has fallen into chaos. Anthony Russano (Vincent_Spano) informs Snaps that he's hijacked 50,000 of his money and wants to marry his daughter. Snaps discovers that his daughter Lisa (Marisa_Tomei) is actually involved with the chauffeur, Oscar (Jim_Mulholland), but Anthony's girlfriend Theresa (Elizabeth_Barondes) has convinced her beau that Snaps is her father. Snaps hopes to use this misunderstanding as a way of getting his money back, but in the meantime, he has to deal with a wary banking board, rival mob boss Vendetti (Richard_Romanus), prissy elocution coach Thornton (Tim_Curry), and Snaps' one-time girlfriend Roxanne (Linda_Gray). Oscar's stellar supporting cast includes Don_Ameche, Chazz_Palminteri, Harry_Shearer, Eddie_Bracken, Yvonne DeCarlo, and Bruce_Davison. Mark Deming, Rovi
