Writer/director Alan Parker's ("Fame") debut is one of the most original film musical comedies ever made. An all-juvenile cast led by Scott Baio and Jodie Foster, acting in scaled-down sets and shooting whipped-cream weapons, illustrates the tale of boxer-turned-gangster Bugsy Malone's (Baio) climb to the top of the criminal monkey bars in "Roaring Twenties" New York City. Co-stars Florrie Dugger, John Cassisi, and Martin Lev; music by Paul Williams. 93 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English (SDH); featurettes; theatrical trailers.
