Plot summary
Angela de Marco is married to 'Cucumber' Frank de Marco, who is rising in the Long Island mob. She has had enough of his criminal life and of the other mob wives, and she demands a divorce, which Frank refuses. Tony 'The Tiger' Russo, the don, kills Frank after finding him with Karen Lutnick, Tony's mistress. At the funeral Tony makes a pass at Angela, which draws the suspicion of the FBI agents Mike Downey and Ed Benitez, who are watching the gang, and an angry confrontation from Tony's wife, Connie Russo. Tony then showers Angela and her son Joey with gifts, and the two move into a small Lower East Side apartment.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Married to the Mob (1988)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Jonathan Demme first pictured Jessica Lange and Tom Cruise in the leads. Mike Medavoy suggested Michelle Pfeiffer, whom Demme had worked with on Into the Night, and he agreed at once; he had someone else in mind for mob boss Tony until he saw a photograph of Dean Stockwell.
- Demme's first assembly ran over three hours, so a great deal was cut. Rather than lose the material entirely, he ran outtakes from the deleted scenes over the end credits.
