      1. I've had the Bugsy Malone (1976) soundtrack stuck in my head for days now and it's reminded me of how transcendentally weird that film is.

      'A Prohibition-era gangster movie which is also a musical and also features children playing the roles of adults' does not work on paper.

    Did you know that the kid who played Fat Sam was later sentenced to prison for taking bribes as a Citigroup construction director?

      Did you know that Bonnie Langford, who played a companion to the Sixth and Seventh Doctors, danced in Bugsy Malone?

        Did you know that Michael Jackson was in Bugsy Malone? But not that one.

          Do the kids in the film have adult voices dubbed over them? I don't remember that horrifying detail.

            On paper, it's all very Brechtian. How can we do a musical about 1920s gangsters while using alienating casting?

              Anyway, Bugsy Malone is not currently available for streaming on any UK streaming service. Boo and hiss.
