Wissenswertes
In one scene, Edward G. Robinson had to fire a pistol while facing the camera. Try as he might, he was unable to keep his eyes open each time he pulled the trigger. The problem was eventually solved by having Robinson's eyes held open with cellophane tape.

Patzer
Rico is hit by the bullet sufficiently to require bandaging by Scabby, but the overcoat he was wearing has no bullet hole in it, nor is there any trace of blood in the subsequent scene in Little Arnie's office.

Zitate

Caesar Enrico Bandello: Mother of Mercy! Is this the end of Rico?

Alternative Versionen
In the 1954 re-release, a foreword crawl was added, warning that the "heroes" of Little Caesar and Der öffentliche Feind (1931) represent "a problem that sooner or later we, the public, must solve." This version is often shown on cable channels.

Like a sky rocket from the gutter.

Mervyn Leroy directs this excellent crime drama. Exceptional camera work for the early '30s. Edward G. Robinson plays Caesar Enrico "Rico" Bandello a small time hoodlum that becomes an underworld crime boss. The rise and fall of Rico and his dealings with rival gangs and pushing his way to the top makes for a classic. Very good supporting cast featuring:Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Sidney Blackner, Glenda Ferrell and George E. Stone. Robinson makes this role memorable for the ages. A must see for gangster movie fans.
