16 The Filmgoers' Annual LP j H i jpc-p-ir vi LITTLE CAiSAR THE central figure in this sensational film is a gangster who has a yearning for bigger and better things in banditry. He wants to succeed on a grand scale, and, one by one, he topples over the people in his way, as he boasts he " can take it as well as dish it out." His ruthless methods, his daring escapades and his overweening vanity make " Little Caesar" perhaps the most realistic drama of gangster life yet seen in films. " Little Caesar " is drawn with clean, hard-cut lines. It contains no mawkish sentimentality whatsoever and no concessions to obvious film convention.
