The Cynical Historian | Bugsy | Based on a True Story @CynicalHistorian | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
I’ve wanted to cover Las Vegas movies for awhile, and it’s finally time to start. There’s 3 of them. Listed in order of best to worst, they are Casino, Aviator, and the movie I’m starting with today: Bugsy. It’s truly awful and the source of a lot of mythology surrounding Las Vegas that really needs to die like the titular character. So that’s what I’m here to do today, kill off Bugsy’s myth once and for all.
