Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 18, Week 7

A period gangster film with an all child cast (including Jodie Foster) and songs by Paul Williams? What else but Bugsy Malone, which still remains one of my favorite Alan Parker films, along with Angel Heart and Shoot the Moon. A few people asked if the film holds up, and I believe it does. Sure, Paul Williams isn't quite the household name anymore, but the originality of it remains, even if it does seem a bit creepier than when I was a kid.

That's Florrie Dugger on the right as Blousey Brown, one of the leads in the film. As far as I know, she never acted again, though I don't know why. Anybody out there have some info on what became of her?

Of course the big news in the film blogosphere this week was the sudden removal of Kevin Lee's YouTube channel. For those unfamiliar, Kevin creates wonderful critical video essays as part of his project to watch the 1000 greatest films of all time. Yes, they include clips from the films, but can they hardly be counted as piracy, or in any way interfering with the copyright holder's ability to make money. If anything, they function to drive people towards these films. It's not yet known who issued the complaint, but whoever it was should be forced to justify their decision. I for one would like to hear it. 

This week: I heard a song from this film today in, of all places, a Rite Aid drug store. I haven't seen it in years, and it's about time I rectify that. Name it. Submit your answers to this address. Good luck!
