Coming Up: Bugsy Malone
Bugsy Malone – 1976.
The classic gangster story of Bugsy Malone told with an all-child cast.
The film is unique musical parody of gangster movies, where all the roles are played by children. I first watched it shortly after its release, and was absolutely thrilled. Balanced director’s work, smartly composed screenplay, great and very temporary musical score and, above all, the brilliant talent of young Jodie Foster. Not all the roles were played equally convincingly, but the kids were generally quite good. I enjoyed the film even more while writing subtitles (for home use) for it several months ago, being thus forced to listen carefully to every word spoken or sung. After 30 years, I really have nothing to add to my first impressions. “Bugsy Malone” is timeless, and should be listed among the movie classics, along with “The Wizard of Oz” and “Oliver”. ~Raretvandfilm
