Description
On the eve of the repeal of Prohibition, gangster Bugs (Robinson) calls it quits and decides to insinuate himself into the world of the cultural elite…a world, Bugs ultimately finds, of equal corruption. This zany comedy’s flippant and amoral tone was precisely what the Hays Office tried to dissuade.
