Edward G. Robinson as a flatfoot?!
I've always enjoyed classic gangster flicks and have only now started to add them to my DVD collection and I vaguely remembered watching this as a kid with my pop. Well, I'm glad I bought this. The cinematogrophy coupled with great acting/directing and the premise to get the bad guy's great. Sure, it seems like a cliche', but you have to remember, this was back in the beginnings of 'talkie' films and just as usual Edward G. doesn't take any backtalk from anyone! I think within the first 10 minutes of the film, he slugs and dazes some two-bit punk gangster then hits 'em a second time, knocking him through a glass door. Yeah, he's still great. Another thing that I liked about this film was that Humphrey Bogart was also cast. Nothing like a well dressed, witty, tough talkin' gangster to make some trouble.....for everybody. Heh, if you like gangster flicks as much as I do, get this with no fear. You'll love it.
