To celebrate what would have been the 131st birthday of Hollywood icon Edward G. Robinson, Sergio is joined by Craig Ian Mann to provide an overview of the many gangster roles he played during his career, examining how they transitioned from Depression-era tragedies of men who took the wrong path to fame and fortune to Noir-era sociopaths of the 40s and 50s who no longer have a place in society.

Films discussed include:

  • Little Caesar (1931)
  • Bullets or Ballots (1936)
  • The Last Gangster (1937)
  • I am the Law (1938)
  • Night has a Thousand Eyes (1948)
  • Key Largo (1948)
  • Black Tuesday (1954)

Craig is a film historian, freelance writer and home video producer who works closely with Eureka Entertainment and their Masters of Cinema series.

He is the author of Phases of the Moon: A Cultural History of the Werewolf Film, published by Edinburgh University Press in 2020, and has written for the BFI, Eureka, Second Sight Films, Indicator and Arrow Video amongst others.

His latest writing appears in the Second Sight releases of The Hitcher and The Blair Witch Project and Eureka's Masters of Cinema edition of Hugo Fregonese’s Black Tuesday, previously previewed here at Fedora. Forthcoming is Mabuse Lives! - a set bringing together six of the Mabuse crime films made in Germany in the 1960s.
