Bugsy Malone

1976

Gangster Dandy Dan puts the squeeze of rival nightclub owner Fat Sam. With his goons gone, Fat Sam hires Bugsy Malone to help out.

Genuine British film oddity- a gangster musical starring kids!

A film I didn't like in 1976, but time has been kind and the musical numbers sound a lot better now.

Blu-ray features a very bemused commentary track from Alan Parker, whose first feature this was.

Many thanks to Caren Lumsdale for help in identifying the dancers!
