Young Danny Madigan (Austin O’Brien) is a lonely 11-year-old boy who escapes from his bleak reality by watchingthe action adventure movies of his favorite film character, Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger). When his best friend, Nick the projectionist, gives him a special ticket to the new Slater film, Danny is magically transported into Jack’s world, where the good guys always win. Danny becomes his helper as Jack battles a trio of nefarious bad guys, Benedict (Charles Dance), Vivaldi (Anthony Quinn) and The Ripper (Tom Noonan). But things get out of hand when Benedict steals Danny’s magic ticket stub and transports himself into the real world, where crime can, and often does, pay.

MARRIED TO THE MOB June 24th at Webster University ‘A Tribute to Jonathan Demme’


“I feel like a virgin at a eunuch convention.”


MARRIED TO THE MOB screens Friday, June 24th at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium (470 East Lockwood). This is the sixth film in their ‘Tribute to Jonathan Demme’ The movie starts at 8:00pm.


In director Jonathan Demme’s 1988 comedy MARRIED TO THE MOB, Michelle Pfeiffer stars as Angela Demarco, the widow of a recently “iced” Mob hit-man who moves from her garishly tacky Long Island home to start a new life for herself and her son, while being pursued by Mob boss Dean Stockwell and FBI man Matthew Modine. MARRIED TO THE MOB has lots going for it including a very amusing script; offbeat characters; sudden sharp turns to unexpected violence, and a hilarious yet menacing, Oscar-nominated performance by Stockwell and and also by Mercedes Ruehl, as his jealous wife from hell, But Ms Pfeiffer steals the show easily. She perfectly nails Angela’s under-educated, Long Island Italian accent, and the many fine mannerisms that she brings to the role to really flesh out this spunky and surprisingly bright character. Also look for Trey Wilson as FBI Field/Regional Director Franklin, Joan Cusack as Rose Boyle, Ellen Foley as Theresa, Eraser’s Oliver Platt as Ed Benitez, Anthony J. Nici as Joey De Marco, and Charles Napier as Ray – Angela’s gay hairdresser. Catch this one if you can.

$6 for the general public

$4 for Webster University staff and faculty

Free for Webster students with proper I.D.
