Oscar is a 1991 American comedy film directed by John Landis. Based on the Claude Magnier stage play, it is not a remake of the 1967 film of the same name, but bears certain similarities to the original French film. The story is set in Depression era New York and centers around a mob boss trying to go straight. The film stars Sylvester Stallone, Marisa Tomei, Ornella Muti, Tim Curry, and Chazz Palminteri and was a rare attempt by Stallone at doing a comedy role.
