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.

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..

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.

Who ever made that comment about Italians knows nothing I am full blooded Italian and I have blue eyes. IT is genetics that decides your eye color not your Nationality. So unless you know from what you are talking about do not talk at all. and I LOVED this movie It was AWESOME I cannot get enough You will LOVE this story. It is bitter sweet, it shows the hay day of the mafia and some of the downfall of an age filled with honor and loyalty and family. Things that in todays society is lacking VERY much. Eric Roberts and Nancy Mckeon were Superb and Eric Himself said that the Bonannos were on the set to make sure things were done just so and that it was correct and not messed up.

Nancy McKeon gives a fine performance as Rosalie Bonanno wife of a Mafia big shot. The film tells the story of her stormy marriage to the son of a major organized crime boss. While it's no Godfather or Goodfellas film the story chiefly with her as the main character holds up well. She starts out as a Babe in the Woods who is truly in love with Bill Bonanno supposedly not knowing that she and he hail from powerful mob families.

The actual Mafia goings on are toned down so it's not full of mob hits and the usual escapades one might expect from a gangster picture. Her married life is depicted as she struggles to gain respectability through legitimate employment when her underworld husband is incarcerated and she must raise her children on her own. Ben Gazzara co-stars as the patriarch of the Bonanno family and Eric Roberts as Rosalies husband and heir apparent to the Bonanno family business.
