Bugsy Malone

Director Alan Parker's much-loved slapstick musical spoof, featuring a cast composed entirely of children and following a war between rival gangsters in Twenties New York - fought with custard pies and cream-firing tommy guns. When a slick mobster acquires devastating new weapons, his arch rival realises he has to get his hands on some if he's to avoid having his business wiped out, and enlists the aid of a small-time chancer to steal them. Starring Scott Baio, Florrie Dugger and John Cassisi, with Jodie Foster on fine form in an acclaimed early appearance
