...a cute and harmless film, with Robinson in fine form, an excellent supporting cast, and an abundance of good one-liners. (Warner Bros. Gangsters Collection, Vol. 4)

...amusing, lightweight fun, with the biggest gangster star of them all, Robinson, parodying his own gangster-movie persona. (Warner Bros. Gangsters Collection, Vol. 4)

90/100. This is one of Edward G. Robinson?s best films and one of the best comedies of the 1940?s. The supporting cast is amazing, Edward Brophy, Anthony Quinn, Jack Carson and Harry Davenport are excellent, but it's Broderick Crawford that steals every scene he is in. Look for a very young Jackie Gleason as the soda
