Cinemaotgraphe will release a 4K Blu-ray/Blu-ray combo pack of Jonathan Demme's Married to the Mob (1988), starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Matthew Modine, Dean Stockwell, Mercedes Ruehl, and Alec Baldwin. The release will be available for purchase later this month.
Description: Angela de Marco (Michelle Pfeiffer, Scarface) is married to Frank "Cucumber" de Marco (Alec Baldwin, Miami Blues), who is murdered for having an affair with the mistress of mob boss Tony "The Tiger" Russo (Dean Stockwell, Blue Velvet). Following Frank's sudden departure, Angela trades her Long Island environs for New York City, catching the eye of Tony, and the FBI, in the process. As Angela begins a casual tryst with undercover FBI agent Mike Downey (Matthew Modine, Full Metal Jacket), the case against Tony continues to mount, resulting in a bullet-ridden climax.
Directed by Jonathan Demme (Swimming to Cambodia) and based on an original screenplay by Barry Strugatz and Mark R. Burns (She-Devil), Married to the Mob is a deft, often very funny, marriage of crime conventions and romantic comedy. Featuring many Demme collaborators on the crew—including cinematographer Tak Fujimoto (The Silence of the Lambs), editor Craig McKay (Philadelphia), production designer Kristi Zea (Beloved) and a score by David Byrne, of Talking Heads—alongside an incredible supporting cast that includes the likes of Mercedes Ruehl (The Warriors), Oliver Platt (The Ice Harvest), Paul Lazar (Philadelphia) and Joan Cusack (Broadcast News), Married to the Mob is a rousing display of eclectic talent in American moviemaking of the 1980s. Cinématographe is proud to present the definitive edition of Jonathan Demme's genre-bending masterpiece, in a new 4K restoration, marking its world 4K Blu-ray debut.
