The cast of Alan Parker's 1976 musical comedy, including Dexter Fletcher (Babyface) and Bonnie Langford (Lena Marelli) visit the BFI Southbank to celebrate the film's 50th anniversary.

In late-1920s New York, rival gangs led by Fat Sam and Dandy Dan fight to control the city. Bugsy Malone and his sweetheart Blousey dream of a new life in Hollywood, but are caught-up in the – custard-filled – crossfire. Alan Parker’s musical take on the gangster genre, solely featuring children in its cast, is a timeless, must-see family treat that’s guaranteed to get your toes tapping.
