If you loved The Road to Wellville, try Bugsy Malone
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Alan Parker, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Road to Wellville, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Bugsy Malone is
A 1929 gangster musical without bullets but with custard pies. When a low-level nice guy falls for the singer he’s not supposed to, the city’s cream pies start flying faster than his plans. You’ll leave remembering the pies, not the plot, but the music helps.
