Love, Honor & Obey: The Last Mafia Marriage

This movie was just a great overall movie. You could actually feel the emotions that the character, Rosalie, was going through. The people chosen to play the characters couldn't have been any better. They all did a wonderful job. The movie showed the side of the woman stuck in a life she didn't have much choice in choosing. From the movie, she has no idea what her father did for a living or who he actually was. Then it follows her through her marriage to a mafia prince. It showed the struggles that she faced throughout her life with Bill and showed how strong of a woman she was. I would have to say this is by far my favorite mafia movie.

The movie is easy to watch, Nancy McKeon does a great job of portraying Rosalie Bonanno, and how she begins as a naive young girl, to an extremely strong and independent woman. I've seen this movie numerous times and even read both Bill and Rosalie's books, this movie is a great depiction, though tamed down some, of "the last mafia marriage". I actually wish the movie had gone back in time, to when Bill and Rosalie met and continued from there. But, the way the story is told, narrated by Nancy McKeon, makes it very easy to follow and you're constantly wondering what will happen to them next. The characters were well casted, making it seem real and the time frame is well shown. What truly makes this movie worth watching, especially if you're a mafia junkie like myself, is Nancy McKeon's performance. Many movies have been made about mafia wives, but this story, with Nancy carrying the ball, is definitely the most well told and believable, because it's told from the wife's point of view, not the mobsters'. Therefore, I highly suggest if you haven't watched this movie and are either a fan of Nancy McKeon or just of good mafia films, to catch this one whenever it's on. You won't be able to turn the channel, trust me.

This was a great day, but I can't believe Rosalie was that st and naive. Catholic sc or not. We all know how girls in private schools talk and find out things. And to believe him, before the wedding saying that he's never had sex. Please unless she's slow, or trying to play innocent it's not believable. Thought mafia believed in family. He's the one that broke the marriage vows. Then making her talk to his other woman. No way in hell I would have stayed with him. Then none of the other families helped when he was in jail. People say that she was strong, but I say weak. They don't believe in divorce, screw that. Low self esteem..

the whole cast made this story come alive...my only regret is that you can not find this film to purchase .as there are so many you want and can not find them sad to say.if you have not seen this one you will want to.the film is a good Mafia life story..:)

Very engrossing story of Mafia life from the wife's point of view. You'll recognize all the stereotypical Mafia movie actors. I loved Ben Gazzara and Nancy McKeon. Was surprised to find it was based on a book written by the main character.
