Synopsis

In this comedy thriller from director Jonathan Demme, Michelle Pfeiffer donned a curly brunette wig and proved that she was a deft hand at light-hearted fare. She stars as the widow of gangster Alec Baldwin, who decides to make a new life for herself and her child, but doesn't allow for the attentions of crime boss Dean Stockwell and the FBI's Matthew Modine. The cast is superb - especially Mercedes Ruehl in over-the-top mode as Stockwell's brassy, jealous wife - and Demme keeps both the action and the laughs perfectly tuned.
