Larceny Inc (1942) – Rewatch

After his release from Sing Sing, Edward G. Robinson plans to go straight by purchasing a dog racing track. After the bank refuses his loan, he has no other options but to buy the next-door luggage store and dig into the bank’s vault. It’s a clever bit where Robinson’s stereotypical gangster is thrown into a relatively light-hearted comedy. Additional support is provided by a young Jane Wyman, Broderick Crawford, Anthony Quinn, and even Jackie Gleason as a soda jerk.
