Movie Reviews
Synopsis:
Biography of the legendary gangster, beginning with his rise to power and ending with his bloody death. The film dramatizes how Legs, a former dancer, became a powerful mob boss by violent manipulation and intimidation. The theory that Legs was not altogether sane is also explored; for example, he sets a woman's dress on fire -- while she's wearing it! Eventually the flashy gangster receives his comeuppance, as he loses his dominating influence and suffers a violent demise.
