This scene shows what a great actor Edward G. was---his portrayal is so corrosive, colorful and with a touch of humor that you look at him and NOBODY else!! And of course Mr. R's voice is unique and drips malice and power. My family and I love when this movie comes on! A real classic!
I second that emotion! Few actors could upstage Bogie, but our Eddie G was certainly one of them! The powerful & charismatic character of Johnny Rocco is pretty much the center & catalyst of this late 40's classic. Thanks for your insightful comment! :)
@JubalCalif You guys are right about Eddie G. upstaging Bogart here, but one other person had the chops to upstage the amazing Bogey, James cagney held his own and better with Humphrey Bogart on more than one occassion.
You're certainly right, Addie! James Cagney (like Eddie G) DOMINATED the screen. When he was in a scene, all eyes were on him! Talk about screen charisma! THANKS for your insightful comment! :-)
@JubalCalif Bacall, absolutely, always held her own with Bogie too, but she also gets upstaged in this film. lol I also always thought that Claire Trevor was particularly good in this film. She does some showing up of people herself. lol
Right on, Addie! Claire richly deserved her Best Supporting Oscar for this classic flick. Her best performance in her long career. You obviously are a person of rare distinction & good taste! :-)

Only time I ever saw Bogie upstaged was by Robinson in this movie. What an actor he was...
