Storyline
| Plot Summary |
New York gangster Ben Bugsy Siegel takes a brief business trip to Los Angeles. A sharp-dressing womaniser with a foul temper, Siegel doesn't hesitate to kill or maim anyone crossing him. In L.A. the life, the movies, and most of all strong-willed Virginia Hill detain him while his family wait back home. Then a trip to a run-down gambling joint at a spot in the desert known as Las Vegas gives him his big idea. Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26} |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | This movie shows Bugsy Siegel watching a screentest of himself. In real life, Siegel made many friends amongst the Hollywood elite, asked for, and had a screentest. The footage no longer exists, like so many other screentests, yet the legend of Siegel's attempt to break into showbiz lives on. See more » |
| Goofs | When "selling" the concept of Las Vegas to the other mobsters, Bugsy states that "when Hoover Dam opens up", there will be power for air conditioning. The scene takes place in the mid 1940's and Hoover Dam had already been producing power since the late 1930's. In addition, Las Vegas never got any power from Hoover Dam until 2017. See more » |
