Bugsy Malone (1976)
General
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. How is Bugsy to get the girl and help Fat Sam defend his business against the deadly Dan and his dastardly tricks? With an all-child cast placed in a mobster era, armed with custard instead of bullets and belting out some superb songs, this is simply entertainment at its best!

I showed this to various age groups at a Primary School recently. Most of them seemed to enjoy it at some level, even though it's not their usual fare these days. Jodie Foster is so far ahead of the others, it is obvious why she went on to do what she has done in her career. I'm not sure whether my hearing is going, but the diction of some of the other actors left a lot to be desired.

Jodie Foster is always worth a look at any age.

Worth watching just for Jodie Foster's remarkable child acting. Some great musical numbers too...

One of my favourites. Great for older kids (10 up) without the graphic gore of more recent times. Paul Williams wrote an excellent sondtrack.

Unusual approach to gangster genre using kids and cream puffs as bullets. Also included the cream Pie fight at the end of the movie. Well directed and interesting approach. A movie that is entertaining and well worth watching.
