Married to the Mob

1h 44m
Directed by Jonathan Demme • 1988 • United States
Starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Matthew Modine, Dean Stockwell
Jonathan Demme brings an effortlessly breezy screwball verve and affectionate eye for ’80s suburban kitsch to this gloriously gaudy comic firecracker, built around a bravura performance by Michelle Pfeiffer as Long Island mob wife Angela de Marco. Fed up with organized crime, Angela sees a chance to escape when her husband (Alec Baldwin) is bumped off. But starting over isn’t so easy: she’ll have to deal with the advances of gangster boss Tony (Dean Stockwell) and the machinations of FBI agent Mike Downey (Matthew Modine), who sees her as the key to infiltrating the syndicate.
