now personally i do not see what anthony quinn be squawk about in larceny and inc. edward g. robinson and sidekick edward brophy and broderick crawford take over a caper that quinn have plan . robinson serve his time in prison and quinn get denied parole . it not like quinn take a copyright out on the idea and you can not count on him bust out of stir . nevertheless that what quinn do and he do see thing differently which be the whole basis for the plot of larceny and inc. edward g. robinson and a he do in a number of film and get a chance to satirize his own gangster image and he do it quite well . this be one of his last film under his warner brother contract and he go out in style . robinson would be back at warner brother in the latter half of the forty with key largo which be definitely not a comedy . robinson be the brain and he get stalwart support from edward brophy and broderick crawford and two guy who at that time usually play simple mind lovable lug . brophy go with the flow and but crawford be quote a say that he be not the world great wit and but he always resent play half a one . he get his big chance at the end of the forty with all the king men and an oscar . robinson adopt daughter be jane wyman and her beau be salesman jack carson . wyman be also a few year from an oscar for johnny belinda and carson do break the mold of play lovable blowhard . it a pretty funny film and best scene be when crawford strike a pipeline in the basement and for a minute they think they have strike oil in new york city . and already refine too .
