Member Rating:

The infamous gangster Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel strong-armed his way from his rough and rowdy childhood home in Brooklyn to the glamorous world of Hollywood. Don't Call Me Bugsy chronicles the mobster's life, from his rise to power in the underworld to the fatal mistake which caused his fall. Siegel, one of the most flashy of the celebrity mobsters, is best known as the founder of the modern Las Vegas. From his illegal activities at small gambling clubs in Vegas, he went on to use syndicate money to establish the first luxury hotel on the Vegas strip in the mid-'40s, the Flamingo. This documentary combines interviews, authentic footage, and graphic photographs to tell the true story of Siegel, the flamboyant and unforgettable underworld innovator. ~ Sally Barber, Rovi

Since the Warren Beatty portrayall there hasn't been anything close to describing the real Bugsy. This particular version seem to have followed the scripts that led to the A&E or History Channel version that I have seen since the big screen movie. So, if you want to better understand how Las Vegas flourished from the sand, this historic review was alright and I would recommend it. But if you saw the original movie with Warren Beatty, then you pretty much have learned it all.
