Rob the Mob, a film directed by Academy Award nominee writer-director Raymond De Felitta (City Island, Two Family House, The Thing About My Folks), will be screened as a Ridgefield Playhouse Film Society event on Saturday, May 23, at 7:30 p.m. The film is based on the true story of Thomas and Rosemarie Uva, two lovers whose 1991 audacious heists of NYC Mafia social clubs resulted in a discovery that could forever change the face of organized crime in America. The film stars Michael Pitt, Nina Arianda, Andy Garcia and Ray Romano. Director De Felitta will be on hand at the Playhouse for a Q&A hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist Ira Joe Fisher. This event is supported by The Ridgefield Press and Whistle Stop Bakery.

Synopsis: A Queens couple, who specialize in robbing mafia social clubs, stumble upon a score bigger than they could ever imagine, becoming targets of both the mob and the FBI in the process. True crime. True love. True story.
