Bugsy Malone is a unique musical film that was released in 1976. The film is based in the roaring 20s era of New York City and is a parody of the classic mobster movie genre. The twist in this film is that all of the actors are children, which creates an incredibly charming and comedic experience.
The film's plot revolves around two rival gangs, Fat Sam's gang and Dandy Dan's gang, who are in a struggle for power and control over the city. Bugsy Malone, a wisecracking playboy, becomes involved when he falls for Blousey Brown, a hopeful actress who dreams of making it big on Broadway. Bugsy takes it upon himself to help Blousey achieve her dreams, but in doing so, he gets sucked into the world of the gangs, the speakeasies, and the criminal underworld.
One of the standout performances in the film is from the then-teenage actress Jodie Foster, who plays Tallulah, the nightclub singer and girlfriend of Fat Sam. She shines in her performances of memorable songs like "My Name is Tallulah" and "Down and Out." The musical score of the film, which was composed by Paul Williams, is also a highlight, fitting perfectly with the tone and style of the film.
Bugsy Malone is a fun and light-hearted film that is perfect for all ages. It has become a cult classic over the years and is still beloved by audiences to this day.
