Das Schlitzohr von der Mafia (1990)

Das Schlitzohr von der Mafia: Directed by Herbert Ross. With Steve Martin, Rick Moranis, Joan Cusack, Melanie Mayron. An all too uptight FBI agent must protect a larger than life mobster with a heart of gold, currently under witness protection in the suburbs.

“The mobster Vincent u0026#39;Vinnieu0026#39; Antonelli (Steve Martin) is under the witness protection program and the FBI agent Barney Coopersmith (Rick Moranis) is assigned to take Vinnie and his wife Linda to a house in the suburbs. However their wives leave Vinnie and Barney and the agent gets closer to the gangster and befriends him. Vinnie is a bon vivant and a crook and does not keep the necessary low profile. The District Attorney Hannah Stubbs (Joan Cusack) arrests him but Barney releases him from jail since he needs to testify against the Mafia. Soon Barney falls in love with Stubbs, but Vinnie gets into many troubles calling the attention of two hit men from the Mafia. The police officer Crystal Rybak (Melanie Mayron) protects him and they also falls in love with each other. In the end, the good-hearted Vinnie becomes a prominent personality in the suburbs. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;My Blue Heavenu0026quot; is a heartwarming comedy with funny moments. The good story is wasted with the uneven screenplay. Vinnie in the supermarket is hilarious and maybe the best moment of this movie. The conclusion is corny but entertaining. Steve Martin was originally cast as Barney and Arnold Schwarzenegger was cast as Vinnie but he left the production to work in u0026quot;Kindengarten Copu0026quot;. My vote is six.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTitle (Brazil): u0026quot;Meu Pequeno Paraísou0026quot; (u0026quot;My Little Heavenu0026quot;)”
