Bugsy Malone

Synopsis

Mob boss Fat Sam is under threat from the new gang in town - and even Bugsy Malone, the most cunning henchman around, is struggling to work out how to protect him. That might sound like the standard gangster movie set-up - but here the guns shoot marshmallow whip instead of bullets, and the sharp-suited occupants of nightclubs are all children. Bugsy Malone might seem an unlikely idea for a movie - a musical comedy set in the 1930s criminal underworld with a cast made up entirely of young teens - but it works brilliantly.
