There will never be another trio of actors like Humphery Bogart, James Cagney, and Edward G. Robinson. Those guys were the classic gangsters in the early days and yet were able to perform other roles as well.
Edward G. Robinson's gangster roles are great but I enjoyed many of his other performances such as "Our Vines Have Tender Grapes" and "Scarlet Street".
bogart and cagney wanted to be just like him but they couldnt because he was the original . it was a sin that hollywood never gave this man an oscar .shame on you jerks at the academy awards for not recognising this mans genius . r.i.p. edward we all miss you ,
@jayronnie2 they gave him an Oscar, what are you talking about? And let's be honest, he isn't "the best actor to ever live". However, when it comes to gangster movies, he is one of the most influential actors period. I truly admire him.
Keys! So much more to people than what they do for a living. Us in the real world only know these people by our visualizing them in their make believe world. Strange! Very nice.
Class .... Easy to recognize .... hard to describe, hands down this man was made of it

The little guy stood 10 foot tall, always gave a great performance. A finer actor never lived.

Edward G Robinson whose tough sinister appearance on the movie screen concealed the soul of a gentle man. Baz,your photos are wonderful! Fondly, V.

Still when I see Edward G., I think of a murderous thug. That's terrible, but he played it so well.

He made being a bad guy very popular! his face
harmonized well with gangsters and crime laced
characters. Yet in real life he was totally
different! a gentlemen with a love of doing Art` dignified well dressed and reserved.
Yes you can not judge a book by its cover.
Vintage photos are excellent.
