Mickey les yeux bleus est un film de 1999 réalisé par Kelly Makin. Hugh Grant joue le rôle de Michael Felgate, un comissaire-priseur anglais habitant New York qui se retrouve embringué avec les relations mafieuses de son futir beau-père. Plusieurs rôles mineurs sont joués par des acteurs de la série TV Les Sopranos.
Synopsis[modifier | modifier le code]
Quand Michael Felgate (Hugh Grant), un comissaire-priseur anglais, demande en mariage sa petite amie Gina Vitale (Jeanne Tripplehorn), he is shocked to be turned down. Gina later tearfully explains that her father Franco (James Caan) and most of her cousins and uncles are gangsters deeply involved in a Mafia crime family, and she's worried that Michael may be sucked into their world. Michael retorts that he won't let this happen, but barely is the engagement party over before he is unwittingly involved in a money laundering scam, and soon the FBI is sniffing at his heels.
When a deal goes bad, Gina accidentally shoots dead her gangster cousin. Michael takes the blame, but then finds that Gina's father Franco has been chosen to kill Michael in revenge. Unable to carry out the deed, Franco confesses all to the FBI in return for protection. The FBI set up an elaborate operation in which Michael will be "shot" at the wedding reception and several of the gang implicated.
The operation nearly goes wrong and both Michael and Gina are "shot", but all ends well.
At one point, Michael is forced to impersonate a gangster and is introduced as "Kansas City Little Big Mickey Blue Eyes". Franco attempts unsuccessfully to teach him to speak in the stereotypical Italian-American accent, using expressions like "fugedaboudit".
