In crime and comedy, timing is everything.

In "Oscar" (1991), Angelo "Snaps" Provolone, a disillusioned mobster, vows to his ailing father to abandon his criminal ways and pursue a life of legitimate enterprise. With no business acumen to fall back on, Snaps navigates a treacherous path toward redemption, grappling with the stark contrast between his former life of violence and the uncertain world of commerce. Director John Frankenheimer frames this transformation as a delicate balance between the allure of quick cash and the moral complexities of breaking from a corrupt past.
