Description
"R-I-C-O, Little Caesar, that's who!" Edward G. Robinson bellowed into the phone. And Hollywood got the message: 37-year-old Robinson, not gifted with matinee-idol looks, was nonetheless a first-class star and moviegoers hailed the hard-hitting social consciousness dramas that became the Depression-era mainstay of Warner Bros. > > > > > "Little Caesar" is the tale of pugnacious Caesar Enrico Bandello, a hoodlum with a Chicago-sized chip on his shoulder, few attachments, fewer friends and no sense of underworld diplomacy.

A genuine classic gangster movie of its time
After watching an old film on TV starring Edward G Robinson I remembered that this was one of my late father's favourite films. I vaguely recalled having seen it years ago but was curious as to how it stood up to the test of time. It's definitely 'of its time' but, making allowances for its age, the story holds the attention and kept us entertained! There were signs of the star that Robinson was to become and a lot of later films have certainly taken a trick or two from this one!
