Short description
New York, 1929, a war rages between two rival gangsters, Fat Sam and Dandy Dan. Dan is in possession of a new and deadly weapon, the dreaded "splurge gun". As the custard pies fly, Bugsy Malone, an all-round nice guy, falls for Blousey Brown, a singer at Fat Sam's speakeasy. His designs on her are disrupted by the seductive songstress Tallulah who wants Bugsy for herself.
What's left behind the scenes
- Despite the actors being children, all vocal parts were recorded by adult voices.
- In 2003, according to viewers of Channel 4 (United Kingdom), this film was included in the list of 100 greatest musicals at number 19, surpassing such hits as "Cats" and "The Phantom of the Opera".
- Instead of bullets and machine-gun fire in "Bugsy Malone," characters were killed with cream pies. If a pie hit someone, it meant they were dead. (Therefore, this film can be watched with children – there are no scenes of violence).
