Movie Of The Week: MARRIED TO THE MOB

Happy Valentine’s day with this '80s gem:

Movie of the Week: For some reason, Jonathan Demme’s MARRIED TO THE MOB (1988) popped into my head hole the other day and I had to post about it. It’s got Michelle Pfeiffer as a gangster’s widow trying to start anew in NY, but on her back is the FBI by way of an agent played by Matthew Modine, and her past mafia connections headed by Dean Stockwell’s best performance ever as Tony "The Tiger" Russo. Mercedes Ruehl, Alec Baldwin, and a killer soundtrack featuring Sinéad O'Connor, New Order, Chris Isaak, The Feelies, and Brian Eno make it a must see too.

More later...
