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.
