New York gangster Ben 'Bugsy' Siegel takes a brief business trip to Los Angeles. A sharp-dressing womanizer with a foul temper, Siegel doesn't hesitate to kill or maim anyone crossing him. In L.A. the life, the movies, and most of all strong-willed Virginia Hill detain him while his family wait back home. Then a trip to a run-down gambling joint at a spot in the desert known as Las Vegas gives him his big idea.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'Bugsy' is a biographical crime drama. While it was released around the holidays (noted as 'Holiday Release'), the plot, setting, themes, and iconography are entirely focused on organized crime, romance, and the founding of Las Vegas. There is no indication that the Christmas season plays any meaningful role in the narrative whatsoever."
