Little Caesar is the tale of pugnacious Caesar Enrico Bandello, a hoodlum with a Chicago-sized chip on his shoulder, few attachments, fewer friends and no sense of underworld diplomacy. And Robinson - a genteel art collector who disdained guns. (official distributor synopsis)

At the time, it must have been a truly groundbreaking film, because it was the one that truly started the era of famous and even more famous mafia movies. However, nowadays it is a bit exhausted, lacking tension, and all the action takes place only in the dialogues. That is a shame, because there are places here that deserve a little more attention. The idea of rise and fall is classic and good in any case.
