A perfect example of an enjoyable popcorn film. Very bright colors portray the look and feel of a comic book. Also, the editing feels like you're reading a comic book. It's full of really quick cuts. It feels like an old-time gangster movie. The big problem is Warren Beatty, not his acting, but the fact that he was actor, director, and producer, he had too many roles. If he just would've acted, and left the directing to someone else, this could've been better. Again, an enjoyable film from my youth, that probably doesn't hold up very well today.
BTW, unknown fact, this film won 3 Academy Awards, Best Art Decoration - Set Decoration, Best Makeup, Best Music, Original Song (Sooner or Later) I Always Get My Man. And Al Pacino was nominated for Best Supporting Actor which Joe Pesci beat him out for his role in Goodfellas.
