"“Mother of mercy, is this the end of Rico?” the famous line delivered by Edward G. Robinson was voted as one of the top 100 most iconic quotes of Hollywood History by the American Film Institute. As Rico, Robinson gave a career-defining performance that would ultimately lead to his status of one of the most recognizable faces of classic gangster films. The seminal mob flick follows the ups and downs of criminal life in Prohibition Era, an eye-catching subject for the public of the time, who"

" Notes: To be honest, I don’t think this movie grew old very well. I mean, 90 years after it was released, so many vastly superior gangster flicks have been released such as ‘The Godfather’ 1 and 2, ‘Goodfellas’, ‘Scarface’ and many others. And yet, even if this movie was maybe not the first in this genre, it was certainly a major trendsetter, the precursor of all the gritty gangster movies that came in the 30’s but also afterwards up until nowadays.

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it seemed to have a solid reputation (it is included in the ‘1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die’ list among other things), I was quite eager to check it out.

“'Little Caesar' had many interest points. Edward G. Robinson was a fine actor, who dominated when in lead roles and stole scenes in support. Mervyn LeRoy, in one of his earliest films here, went on to do a lot of solid and more films. Douglas Fairbanks Jr was good in the right roles and Glenda Farrell also had a knack for scene stealing. Also highly appreciate gangster pictures and have done so for some time now, ever since seeing 'The Godfather' for the first time ten years ago.Is 'Little Caesar' one of the best gangster films? Definitely not, others have held up much better. Regardless of what one's opinion of the film though (and it is an easy target for criticism as well as praise), it is hard to deny that it was ground-breaking and important to the development and history of the gangs” read more
