Benny Rubin in "Julius Sizzer" (1931)

"There you are kid, blow yourself."

After the success of "Little Caesar," "Public Enemy" and "Scarface," here is the inevitable parody, in which Liddle Sizzer engages in a vicious Chicago gang war. He's aided by his innocent twin brother, Julius, a greenhorn from the Old Country. Both are played by Benny Rubin.

I wouldn't be surprised if the bullet holes were made by sharpshooters using live ammo. This was a tough business.
