Bugsy
1991
**
Director: Barry Levinson
Cast: Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Harvey Keitel, Ben Kingsley

Barry Levinson's visually impressive but unconvincing and uninvolving biopic of Ben "Bugsy" Siegel, the gangster who built Las Vegas in the middle of the desert. Warren Beatty is his usual wooden self. Oscar winner for best art direction and costume design.
