Edward G. Robinson is such an awesome actor & he shows it all in this fine film. He plays his typical bad boy gangster side as well as a humble bachelor/office worker and on top of that he can play each of these characters switching roles. Not many actors can pull off this feat and be believable at the same time.
Of course we get to enjoy the young Jean Arthur also & she's always a joy to watch. She brings fun and realism to each role she plays.
The film had all guns loaded going into it with the screenplay written by Robert Riskin & Jo Swerling based on a story by W.R.Burnett and directed (& co-produced) by John Ford.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film!!
