To commemorate its 30th anniversary, the film was re-released in limited cinemas in the UK on December 8, 2006. All the songs on the soundtrack were actually performed by adults, including Williams himself, in his unmistakable high-pitched voice, and lip-synched by the cast. The music and lyrics are by singer-songwriter Paul Williams. Written and directed by Alan Parker produced by Alan Marshall with executive producer David Puttnam, the film stars Scott Baio as the title character, with Jodie Foster in the role of Fat Sam's moll Tallulah. The musical centers on Fat Sam's Grand Slam speakeasy. The plot concerns the manufacture of a brand of custard, which is used first in cream-topped pies (being hit with one in the face "kills" the character) then later in "splurge guns" that enable the dessert to be deployed on an unprecedented level. The tongue-in-cheek movie stars children as the gangsters and their molls, toning down the subject matter sufficiently to receive a "G" rating. The story tells of the rise of Bugsy Malone and the battle for power between Fat Sam and Dandy Dan. Currently you are able to watch 'Bugsy Malone' streaming on Pluto TV for free with ads or buy it as download on Apple iTunes, Amazon Video, Vudu. Instead of real guns and ammo, they use 'splurge guns' that cover the victim in whipped cream. Bugsy Malone is a 1976 musical film, very loosely based on events in Chicago, Illinois in the Prohibition era, specifically, the exploits of gangsters like Al Capone as dramatized in cinema. A gangster movie in which all the gangsters are played by children.
