The production is ordinary and would rank as just one more gangster film but for two things. One is the excellence of Mr. Burnett's credible and compact story. The other is Edward G. Robinson's wonderfully effective performance.

Feels stilted when stacked up against its tougher depression-era contemporaries.

Little Caesar makes two classic LeRoy joints that I've found perfectly solid...and thoroughly underwhelming, especially when viewed through the prism of their reputations.

Though it looks somewhat dated now, there's no denying the seminal importance of this classic adaptation of WR Burnett's novel.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Small-time, small-town hood Cesare Enrico "Rico" Bandello (Edward G. Robinson) vows to rule the rackets and not be "just another mug." With his friend Joe Massara (Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.), Rico moves to the city, where he uses murder -- including the assassination of the police commissioner -- to advance rapidly within the mob... until he attempts to take over the entire underworld.
