Description
A vintage Japanese movie poster of ''Bugsy Malone'', a 1976 British-American musical gangster comedy film directed by Alan Parker. What sets this film apart is its unique premise – it's a gangster film featuring an all-child cast. The film is set in the 1920s during the Prohibition era and is characterized by its whimsical and tongue-in-cheek approach to the gangster genre.
In "Bugsy Malone," child actors portray adult gangsters in a world where custard pies and whipped cream are used instead of bullets and real weapons. The story revolves around the rivalry between two gangster factions led by the characters Fat Sam and Dandy Dan. Bugsy Malone, played by Scott Baio, gets caught in the middle of their feud as he tries to win the heart of Blousey Brown, portrayed by Florrie Dugger.
The film is notable for its catchy musical numbers, which were written by Paul Williams. The young actors lip-sync to the songs, adding to the film's charm. The comically exaggerated gangster characters, portrayed by children, create a surreal and entertaining atmosphere.
"Bugsy Malone" is a family-friendly and lighthearted take on the gangster genre, offering a unique and playful spin on a typically gritty and violent theme. It has become a cult classic and remains beloved for its creative concept and memorable songs. The film is often appreciated for its clever subversion of expectations and its ability to entertain audiences of all ages.
