History Film / MarriedToTheMob

* StalkerWithACrush: When it comes to getting into Angela's pants, Tony isn't discouraged by her clear lack of interest in him.

* HyperAwareness: Tony seems to have this through paranoia; his mistress claiming she's going to take a bath before leaving makes him immediately suspect she's double-timing him with someone else, a new clown at a fast-food restaurant makes him instantly suspect a hit, and he works out that Mike's a federal agent because he's noticed him several times before in different outfits.

** In addition to his prolific criminal activities, Tony is also the kind of asshole who murders a man and then tries to hit on the grieving widow at the wake immediately after his funeral.

A 1988 comedy film directed by Jonathan Demme and starring Michelle Pfeiffer.

Angela de Marco (Pfeiffer) is sick of being a [[TheMafia mafia]] wife; she's sick of [[FellOffTheBackOfATruck everything she owns being "hot,"]] she's sick of having to be friends with the other mobsters' wives, and she's sick of her misogynistic douche-bag of a husband, Frank (Alec Baldwin). Then Frank is bumped off, and suddenly his boss, Tony "The Tiger" Russo (Dean Stockwell) wants to get in her pants. And so, she takes her son and moves to the city, but Tony won't leave her alone, and neither will his psychotic wife. She does meet a nice guy named Mike (Matthew Modine), but he turns out to be working for the [[FBIAgent FBI]], who think she had something to do with her husband's death.

* MeaningfulEcho: The movie opens with Angela in an expensive high-class beauty salon getting a makeover -- despite the glamourous, expensive surroundings and the company of the other mobsters, she's clearly unhappy and unfulfilled with her life. It ends with Angela working as a hairdresser in an obvious much cheaper, lower-end salon, but despite the poorer surroundings she's obviously a lot happier.

** Connie herself appears to have completely checked out at the end, judging by the [[TranquilFury blank, glazed expression on her face]] as she waves said gun at said sensitive place.

* VillainousBreakdown: Played with; by the end, Tony is reduced to panicked, flustered begging... but not by the reveal that the FBI are trying to trap him, but by his heartbroken wife pointing a gun [[GroinAttack at a very sensitive place indeed]].

* AffablyEvil: Tony's a nice guy, if you don't cross him.

* {{Jerkass}}: In addition to his prolific criminal activities, Tony is also the kind of asshole who murders a man and then tries to hit on the grieving widow at the wake immediately after his funeral.

* GreenEyedMonster: Connie has a ''bad'' case of this.

Directed by JonathanDemme.

* TooDumbToLive: It's mentioned at least once the only person Tony actively fears is his wife. You'd think he'd have enough sense not to screw around on her.

* PrettyLittleHeadshot: Suffered by Tony's mistress when he catches her playing around with Frank.

* FootFocus: Mike gives Angela's bare feet a massage.

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Sort of, with Tony's one-man stand at Burger World.

* ProperlyParanoid: What tips Tony off a hit's about to be attempted on him? "That's a new clown."
