About Oscar
Oscar is a 1991 American comedy film directed by John Landis. Based on the Claude Magnier stage play, it is a remake of the 1967 French film of the same name, but set in Depression-era New York City. Oscar stars Sylvester Stallone, in a rare comedic role, as Angelo "Snaps" Provolone, a mob boss who promises his dying father Eduardo that he will leave the world of crime and become an honest businessman. Alongside Stallone, the film's cast includes Marisa Tomei, Ornella Muti, Tim Curry, Don Ameche and Chazz Palminteri. Its score was composed by Elmer Bernstein. Designed as a comedic vehicle for Stallone, the film was considered a flop, failing to earn back its $35 million budget. Oscar was released in the United States on April 26, 1991, and received negative reviews from critics.
