Little Caesar is the tale of pugnacious Caesar Enrico Bandello, a hoodlum with a Chicago-sized chip on his shoulder, few attachments, fewer friends and no sense of underworld diplomacy. And Robinson - a genteel art collector who disdained guns. (official distributor synopsis)

Prioritize:
In its time, it must have been truly groundbreaking because it properly ushered in the era of famous and even more famous mafia films. However, nowadays it feels a bit worn out, it lacks tension, and all the action unfolds only in dialogues. That's a shame because there are parts that deserve a bit more care and attention. The idea of the rise and fall is classic and good regardless.
