Comments: A small-town gangster Rico, nicknamed "Little Caesar", who shoots first and asks questions later, moves to Chicago with high ambitions. He's accepted by a mob boss and instantly butts heads with him, and his boss. "Little Caesar" leads a job and takes over the gang. Will he be able to overcome his past?

Edward G. Robinson steals the show! This film marks his breakthrough performance. I usually don't care for gangster films, but this one is good. Classy. This film is based on a novel. Though, at the time, the hero of this Pre-code film was assumed to be Al Capone.
