Edward G. Robinson...a comedy...yep.
7 January 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Veteran actor Edward G. Robinson with tongue-in-cheek pokes fun at his gangster movie image in this comedy about the end of Prohibition. Alcohol once again is allowed to flow freely and former bootlegger Remy Marco(Robinson)decides to go legit, but after four years he faces a money problem. His beer tastes so foul that no one wants to drink it...even legally. He renames his beer and his brewery is about to be taken by the bank...time to take a trip to the vacation house. Headaches don't go away easily when you find four corpses of former enemies in a room upstairs. They are remnants of a gang that robbed a syndicate of bookies. Its really interesting that Marco's daughter(Jane Bryan) is home from school abroad and her new boyfriend(Willard Parker) is a new state trooper...and Marco hates cops, period.

This fast paced comedy also stars:Ruth Donnelly, John Litel, Joe Downing, Edward Brophy and Bobby Jordan. A fun look at a different side of tough guy Robinson.
