Mickey Blue Eyes is a 1999 film directed by Kelly Makin. Hugh Grant stars as Michael Felgate, an English auctioneer living in New York City who becomes entangled in his soon-to-be father in-law's mafia connections. Several of the minor roles are played by actors later featured in The Sopranos TV gangster series. When Michael Felgate , a British auctioneer, proposes marriage to his girlfriend Gina Vitale , he is shocked to be turned down. Gina later tearfully explains that her father Frank and most of her cousins and uncles are gangsters deeply involved in a Mafia crime family, and she is... worried that Michael may be sucked into their world. Michael retorts that he will not let this happen, but barely is their engagement party over before he is unwittingly involved in a money laundering scam, and soon the FBI takes an interest in him. When one of the money laundering scams at Michael's auction house goes wrong, Gina's cousin Johnny confronts and assaults Michael. Gina fires a warning shot into the ceiling which ricochets and accidentally kills Johnny.
