THE WIDOW FROM CHICAGO.
Edward G Robinson & Alice White,
Neil Hamilton, Frank McHugh, E H Calvert.
Dir: John Ford, 1935, Columbia.

SYNOPSIS:
Some vengeful woman hooks up with a gang to get back at the cunts who knocked off her brother.

"Robinson was not pleased with the film, which he considered lightweight. Once again he felt he was playing Nick Scarsi from The Racket. He had only third billing and very little actual dimension in the script. A few days after it was completed, Hal Wallis summoned Robinson to his office and showed him a script based upon a successful novel by W R Burnett. Robinson knew the novel. The book was Little Caesar."
- Alan Gansberg, E G Robinson biographer.

REVIEWS:
"Bottom-of-the-barrell gangster drama, presented with little flair."
- Leslie Halliwell.
"Barely makes programme grade... will have to struggle to break even."
- Variety.
