This review is from: Biography - Bugsy Siegel: Gambling on the Mob [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is, by far, the most informative biography on the legendary gangster Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel. It looks at his life as a mobster, and as a business man and of coarse, as a ladies man. Hard to believe how such a charming and dapper man could be what he was. This is a must see piece for anyone who is interested in history, Las Vegas, Bugsy, the mob, .....You'll enjoy this..i guarantee!!!
