The movie details the career of Bugsy Malone, who rises to the top of the criminal ladder in 1920s New York. Instead of throwing fists or bullets, the prohibition-era kiddie mobsters sling confections at one another.
This original concept, a gangster musical spoof with all the roles played by children (Jodie Foster among them), never found its audience, but it's worth checking out.
A cute oddity, mostly because of the talent in front and behind the camera, especially Foster and Parker

The songs and set pieces are still fresh and infectious and most of the child cast are mesmerisingly good. I defy anyone not to be caught up in the charm and nostalgia.
One of a kind, totally clever gangster parody with music and kids.
