A great movie.

Yep, see myabout page from 2001.

[Larry Lucido]

Edward G is one of the greats.

We had it all
Just like Bogie and Bacall

Sailing away to Key Largo

Excellent film...when America was still America.

[BenLurkin]

Sounds like he was describing Obama’s career.

Until the part where the politician turns honest.

[Dr. Sivana]

That, “My Man Godfrey” and “Detour” were two of the best $1 movies I had ever seen.

when America was still America.

Yup, when a woman can be resourceful, tough when needed, and still feminine.

"I'll be getting guys elected mayor and governor before you ever get a $2 raise!"

"How many of those guys in office owe everything to me?"

"I made them. I made them, just like a tailor makes a suit of clothes."

"I take a nobody, teach him what to say, get his name in the papers. I pay for his campaign expenses. Dish out a lot of groceries and coal. Get my boys to bring the voters out."

"Then count the votes again till they added up right, and he was elected."

"Then what happened? Did he remember when the going got tough? When the heat was on?"

"No, he didn't want to. All he wanted was to save his own dirty neck."

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Yes. I never abandoned that America. That was America before the glorification of public freaks and public perverts.

[americas.best.days...]

There is nothing new under the sun.

Now all we need is some computer animation wiz to replace Edward G. Robinson’s face with Zuckerberg’s and we would have a modern version of the election fixer.

Some time ago I watched (youtube) one of Edward G. Robinson’s last movies, “The Old Man Who Cried Wolf.”
Loved it, but at the sad ending, hearing Robinson’s last word, my boomer companion suddenly laughed out loud.
It was my first EGR flick so I didn’t know what was so funny.
Seniors here will probably know what that word was. :)

“Yes. I never abandoned that America.”

Me either...’til my dying day. But I’d like to see some people pay dearly for what they have done before then!

[Henchster]

"See?"

EGR was famous for his "Yeah, see?" line when he played gangsters.

[toddausauras]

Classic.

Fixing elections is as American as apple pie thanks to the docRATS.

EGR—the man you most love to hate—he’s so—so—

so SWARTHY, yes I said it!

And he’s so damn good at it!

...Some time ago I watched (youtube) one of Edward G. Robinson’s last movies

His last movie was Soylent Green. His death scene in the movie made Charlton Heston deeply emotional because he knew Robinson was dying soon.
