St. Valentine’s Day gangster movie special

0
Edward G.
Emmanuel Goldenberg — whose theatrical name was Edward G. Robinson — was typecast as a gangster in the classic Little Caesar and a string of other films that followed. In THIS 1938 flick, however, he played the FBI agent and the gangsters were American Nazis — who called themselves the German American Bund. You see, Edward G. was antifa — his Jewish family fled from anti-Semitic violence in Romania and as it turned out Hitler didn’t have a worse enemy than him in Hollywood.
