Summary

With a cast of child actors -- including Scott Baio as the titular Bugsy Malone and Jodie Foster as a speakeasy songbird -- director Alan Parker's audacious musical sends up Prohibition-era mobster flicks. Young wiseguy Bugsy finds himself drawn into a turf war when a rival gang unleashes its newest weapon, the splurge gun -- which fires whipped cream instead of bullets. Paul Williams snagged an Oscar nomination for the film's score.
