Bugsy

“Glamour was the disguise.”

A New York gangster comes to Los Angeles for what should be a short business trip, and somehow he never goes home. Ben "Bugsy" Siegel (Warren Beatty) dresses sharp, loses his temper fast, and falls hard for Virginia Hill (Annette Bening), while Barry Levinson follows him from the movie crowd to a run-down gambling joint in the desert. Bugsy has a wife and daughters waiting back east, and he keeps looking at the empty desert instead.
