Mary vs the Movies

Episode 238 – Married to the Mob (1988)

Three young women in a hair salon. One, Joan Cusack, has foils in her hair and wears what might be a white leopard-print jumpsuit, with what looks like a knit leopard-print cardigan, with what might be a leopard pin. Another has short blonde hair except her hair is so tall I don't know if I can rightfully call it short. Another is wearing what I want to call military athlesiure and her high, unnaturally red hair is held back with a thick gold wrap-headband. Her roots are rounded above the headband. It could not be more 80s or more tacky.

A mobster’s widow is romantically pursued by both the FBI agent trailing her and the don who killed her husband. Oh, and the don’s wife wants her dead. What’s a girl to do?

Starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Matthew Modine, Dean Stockwell, Alec Baldwin, and Mercedes Ruehl. Written by Barry Strugatz and Mark R. Burns. Directed by Jonathan Demme.
