Set in 1950s Brooklyn, this comedy follows George, a small-time mobster and his slow-witted sidekick, Dip, as they try to get ahead in the organization by setting up the boss with the hot new prostitute in town, the statuesque Glorice. George however doesn't know that there's more to Glorice than meets the eye, and discovers Glorice's secret only after the boss has already fallen for "her." Glorice will get some nice new jewelry out of the situation but George is afraid that once the truth is known, he'll be sporting a pair of cement shoes. Mob Queen features a sparkling cast, including New York drag performer Candis Cayne as the transsexual Glorice, and a remarkable degree of period detail. "Imagine Donnie Brasco trying to bluff his way through The Crying Game and you've grasped the gist of [Mob Queen]" (Dennis Harvey, Variety).
