Little Caesar is one of the most important films ever made.
Warners would better Little Caesar as they refined the genre into an art-form of its own, but it’s a moot point whether they ever had a better gangster than Eddie G. If they did, and I’m prepared to debate the point, he was to make his appearance three months later in The Public Enemy.
Considering the age of the film and the condition of the available prints, Little Caesar looks very good indeed and is a revelation compared to the murky VHS that I own.

It is too easy to view LITTLE CAESAR and to laugh at the often caricatured voice of Edward G. Robinson as the small time hood who clawed a rapid rise to the top of Chicago's underworld only to tumble equally fast.
What the modern viewer may fail to grasp is that when LITTLE CAESAR was released in 1930 Robinson was no star and the gangster movie did not exist as a genre.
At the beginning of the film, Robinson is Rico Bandello, the 'Little Caesar.' He drifts into Chicago and invites himself as a member of the ruling gang.

Little Caesar reflects the technically primitive nature of early film-making, with a straight-forward, blunt narrative (composed of a series of tableaux), yet its hard-hitting gritty realism gripped audiences.
Here, wide-mouthed, squat and pug-faced Little Caesar (or Rico Bandello) is a tragic hero: overly-ambitious in his goal of becoming a crime lord, and although he achieves his goal in his rapid rise to power, he is machine-gunned down in the final scene during an equally-rapid fall.
Vettori tells them about newly-hired Caesar Enrico Bandello: "I want you to meet a new guy what's gonna be with us." Vettori bestows the name "Little Caesar" upon Rico.

The gangland violence is kept to a discreet minimum, drawing its momentum from observing Robinson munching on cigars, bossing around his wooden co-stars, and gloating in corpulent joy as he moves up the mob ladder.
Still, Little Caesar endures because of Robinson, not so much because he's tough but because he's got a Napoleon-sized ego and a schoolboy's smile when things are going his way.
Little Caesar looks better now than ever before, though dirt and scratches are still painfully noticeable.
