Larceny, Inc. (1942) (original) (raw)
Edward G. Robinson once more turns his gangster image on its head in a gleeful romp based on the Broadway farce. Robinson plays Pressure Maxwell, who emerges from Sing Sing planning to run a dog track with cronies Jug and Weepy. But the plan needs funding, so the group opens a luggage shop as a front while attempting to tunnel into the bank next door. Now add the store's unexpected success, a gabby traveling valise salesman and the arrival of a sour con who wants in on the action, and the laughs are thick as thieves.
