Very interesting video, Vinny. Thanks! And, Ovation, I agree about the movie "Bugsy." Despite taking many liberties, it's one of those films that gets better each time you see it. Beatty's masterpiece, but everyone else in it is just as good.
The acting is a bit over the top, but overall it's a very enjoyable movie to watch.
But I have a feeling they could have made this film a lot better. Too bad they didn't cover Siegel's earlier years, which are probably as interesting as the rest.
There weren't many things wrong with that movie in my opinion. They could've done without Bugsy beating up Joey A. If that had actually happened, they would've tore him apart limb by limb. Then of course, there was the scene where he made Jack Dragna walk around like a dog. I found it amusing, but we all know that was pure fiction as well. Beatty's performance was truly outstanding though. Kingsley was also very good as Lansky. Even though he looks nothing like him, he still captured something I believe.
