Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThis 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.
- GaffesWhen "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.

Gangster, Murderer, Lover, Dreamer...and quite a colorful fellow!
Warren Beatty is impeccable as 1940s New York-based gangster Ben Siegel (don't call him Bugsy!) who infiltrated Hollywood in its golden era, making friends with celebrities, entering into an alliance with adversary Mickey Cohen, dreaming up a glamorous, heroic life for himself while falling madly in love with volatile starlet Virginia Hill. A car-trip to Nevada to check out a mobster-run casino gave Siegel his biggest epiphany: a gambling palace in the desert called the Flamingo, which he believed would become a vacation hot-spot for the high-rollers of the world. This may be director Barry Levinson's most accomplished picture yet; it does feel semi-soft and overly glossy in the beginning but, with many thanks to James Toback's unflinching and hard-boiled screenplay, the movie flows effortlessly along, introducing (and sometimes dispatching with) various colorful figures from gangland history with aplomb. Annette Bening is a bit uneven as Hill (particularly in a later prison sequence), but Harvey Keitel is an amazingly gentleman-like Cohen, Ben Kingsley a marvelously low-keyed Meyer Lansky, and Elliott Gould sympathetic as stoolie Harry Greenberg. What initially looks like a romanticized portrait actually bristles with anger and bloodletting, yet Siegel (as played by Beatty) remains an affable guy. He's vain, he's jealous, he's hot-tempered, he's unforgiving--and yet he's a pushover for loyal friends, a softy for his estranged family in Scarsdale, a lover of big, impossible dreams. Levinson sweeps the audience up in this glittering tale, which is a lot more than just nostalgia and dazzle. It's the story of a man whose dreams were too big for his own era. *** from ****
