OMG, this is the best Robinson movie I have ever seen and I thought I had seen them all. My new favorite Robinson movie bar none

[@PizzaFLIX]

Hi Richard 🍕wow that’s a tall compliment. Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you. 🍕

[@flynnlizzy5469]

Not a knock on this wonderful movie but you must never have watched 'Double Indemnity' (1944) ? Robinson co-stars and, while his part isn't a lot of screen time, he burns it up in the time he does have !!

[@joegoedhart1259]

...or The amazing Dr Cliterhouse.

[@mercedyzmarieguion292]

Little Caesar?? All my sons???

[@magistrumartium]

Have you seen The Little Giant? I think it's his funniest.

[@Jimfromearthoo7]

Edward G is tops in my book👍🏻 Should have received many awards 👏

I'll watch anything with Edward G Robinson

[@janicefitz6348]

Thanks 4 this. You're correct with who cares what it's about..its Edward G. Robinson. I never heard of this and it produced lots of smiles. I really like finding movies where he plays something other than a gangster. They sure don't make actors like the old ones anymore sadly.

[@yodservant]

Lady in the Window is great

[@Cornerstones1883]

Terrific film. Has a Frank Capra flavor to it. The great Edward G. Robinson and Sir Ralph Richardson in the same film! an overlooked gem.

Hilarious script! Great cast. Wonderful film.

True❤

[@monicaaparecidaoliveira8063]

I enjoyed that film. Thank you.

[@jaxcrax9644]

Edward G. deserves the academy award for best actor and this movie is no doubt the best movie of the 1940s.

[@garydavis2688]

Actually this isn't a 1940s film. It was made in 1937!

[@dannywoody5497]

It’s fabulous Edward G Robinson unbelievable as always you can’t beat these old movies

Two actors featured in this movie are remembered for the characters they played in adaptations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. Nigel Bruce, memorable in fourteen features made between 1939 and 1946, as Dr. Watson to Basil Rathbone's Sherlock Holmes, and Arthur Wontner as the great detective in five film adaptations of Doyle's work made between 1931 and 1937.

[@duvidl]

And let's not forget Sir Ralph Richardson as Watson in the BBC/ABC radio series with Sir John Gielgud as Holmes. His portrayal was the finest for me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6qxe4xjgL6tn5o

[@timothydigiuseppe1753]

@@duvidl Agreed! I have some of those broadcasts on CD. Richardson is indeed an exemplary Watson to Gielgud's Holmes.

Edward G and Nigel Bruce in the same movie, you spoil us. thx

[@kewrock]

I already saw this at some point. I grew up only knowing Edward G Robinson as the gangster character. Mainly from parodies, like Bugs Bunny and Couragous Cat cartoons and Key Largo, which used to play constantly on sydicated weekend afternoons in the 70s. But since getting into film noir, I much prefer seeing him in more conventional roles. Like this, the two Lady in the Window movies, the Stranger....

[@bobbiewilliams3033]

Absolutely Wonderful!

Previously i thought it was a average one but that comments made me to change my view i rewatched it and in my opinion all those people comment are deserves to be congratulated. ❤

[@RealGRRRLz69]

Robinson's comedic ability was always underplayed. He was great at it. Give "The Whole Town's Talking" a watch for real fun with him in a comedy. Absolute fun and Robinson at his best. It tops this role.

[@jerrenpentance]

Thank you very much!!😊

[@maryperkins5867]

Robinson was a genius. Check out a movie called the bullit, true story where he plays a scientist.

[@mutantplantation979]

Wasn’t that Dr Zaius’s magic bullet ….

[@JH-ug8jp]

Ehrlic's Magic Bullet, I think.

[@mutantplantation979]

@@JH-ug8jp That’s the one… he was also pretty good in, Scareface !

[@mutantplantation979]

I was joking, he wasn’t in Scarface….but he came close to playing Dr Zaius in Planet of the Apes

[@pressureworks]

Quite puzzled how people haven't realized this film has been on yt for at least 2 years, from quite a few folks, yet nearly everyone in the comments section mentioning they haven't seen or heard of it

[@sarahgodwin-xd1wr]

The actress is Luli DeStefano who has second billing in the film. Please don't leave her name out !!!

Edward G. would not have wanted to be in Texas now.

I met his wife installing paintings but wish I could met Mr.Robinson. Jane Robinson remarried to George Sidney when I worked for her.

James cagney was the yankee doodle yankee in the life of John m. Cohen and played many tough gangsters as well.

Quite the contrast from Little Caesar. I liked his caricature in Bugs Bunny cartoons also. btw, I wonder how many U.S. dollars 50,000 francs equaled in 1937.🤔

Agreed! EGR was always worth watching. The man was a professional not a pretty face. You know, Dan Armstrong reminds me of Donald Trump. They say that Graham Greene didn't like the movie. He must have been in one of those grumpy English moods that used to be the default mode.
