 Bugsy Malone Review (1976)
Bugsy Malone (Scott Baio) is caught up in a gang war between rival mobsters Fat Sam (John Cassisi) and the dapper Dandy Dan (Martin Lev), which Dandy Dan is winning through deployment of a new weapon: the splurge gun.
Bugsy might be the star, but it's the loud, desperate, club-owning Fat Sam who's the best character.
If the smooth Bugsy is a little overshadowed in his own movie, at least none of the other kids grate too much on the nerves - apart from the ones who are supposed to, that is. Watch for: future celebrities Bonnie Langford and Dexter Fletcher in small roles.
