Alyssa Milano as Patty Montanari in the Lifetime TV movie Wisegal

About Wisegal
Time for all the “wiseguys” to step aside for the “wisegal” in a mob movie like no other. From Executive Producer Joe Pistone, the real-life “Donnie Brasco,” comes a true story offering the female take on life in the Mafia. Patty Montanari, widowed at a young age, takes a page from the neighborhood Mafioso and turns to selling contraband cigarettes to support her three sons. Patty then begins a romance with mobster Frank Russo, who recognizes her business savvy and gives her a nightclub to manage. Before long, she gets promoted even higher up in the ranks. She becomes a big-time money courier for “the family.” And although she’s living the high life, Patty soon becomes disenchanted with the mob â€” especially when she fears that her sons may end up “wiseguys” one day. But everyone knows getting out of the mob ain’t easy â€” especially when you’re working for the boss of one of New York’s five biggest crime families. See how Patty tries to break free without losing her life.
