Barry Levinson is a director who concentrates on putting myth onto film. Most commonly he mythologizes about his roots in Baltimore. He tells stories about his family and friends when he was growing up. Perhaps his best myth to date is the fantasy-sports story THE NATURAL. In GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM his mythical hero was the irreverent disk jockey who bucks the system. Perhaps it is not surprising that he would eventually turn to making films about one of America's two great mythical figures, the cowboy and the gangster. However, while cowboy films are on the skids, gangster films are on the upswing, so he picked a well-known gangster, Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel. (In fact, this film ties in with MOBSTERS earlier this year in which Siegel was one of the four title characters. Also, Siegel is assumed by many to have been the real murderer of Bo Greenberg. BILLY BATHGATE begins showing Dutch Schultz committing the crime. Lucky Luciano has been a character in all three films; the three gangster films are all intertwined.) Levinson chose to tell the story of the ten years from 1937 to 1947, when Siegel was a major crime figure on the West Coast.
