Great Classic Movie for Bugsy Fans!!
Dyan Cannon stars in this movie as Virginia Hill, who became the mistress of the famous mob boss Bugsy Siegel played by Harvey Keitel who coincidently also played a gangster in the 1991 movie "Bugsy"(Warren Beatty).It's a great classic movie!!

Not Historiclly Accurate and Cheaply Made
If memory serves me correctly this was an ABC Movie of the Week film. This film like the 1991 Bugsy film is a Hollywoodized phony biography of Siegel and Hill. Hill is shown in this film as a savvy woman who came from the hills of Kentucky to make a life for herself. She was in fact from Georgia and had what one woman called "the mouth of a truck driver".

This review is from: The Virginia Hill: Mistress to the Mob (DVD)
If memory serves me correctly this was an ABC Movie of the Week film. This film like the 1991 Bugsy film is a Hollywoodized phony biography of Siegel and Hill. Hill is shown in this film as a savvy woman who came from the hills of Kentucky to make a life for herself. She was in fact from Georgia and had what one woman called "the mouth of a truck driver". Hill was one of the original Hollywood drug dealers. Her main line were Amphetamines supplying even poor Judy Garland and numerous other stars who needed to stay thin and used her services. Siegel built the Flamingo with Lucky Lucianos's heroin trade profits. It never amazes me how Hollywood loves to glamorize 1940's gangsters. Dyan Cannon was horribly miscast as Hill. Keitel plays Siegel in this film and was actually better than Warren Beatty's performance in Bugsy, Keitel is in that film also.
