A GREAT comedy!
Edward G. Robinson has been typecast so often as "THE gangster", that it's quite unusual to see him in a COMEDY!A gangster who owns a brewery decides to "go straight" and become "respectable" (along with his unwilling gang); and all sorts of funny things happen:his daughter wants to marry a state trooper (!), bodies show up in his house, etc.
As the other reviewer said, many people don't like this film, but *I* found it thoroughly enjoyable!
If you want to see Robinson in an even BETTER comedy, check out "The Whole Town Is Talking", where he plays a dual role: Public Enemy # 1, and a timid clerk who happens to be a dead ringer for him!
