The Little Giant on DVD

The era of the bootlegger is over, ya mugs, and don't let the door smack your backside on the way out. But liquor runner Bugs Ahearn has a plan for what hell do now that Prohibition has kicked the beer bucket. I'm going to mingle with the upper classes, he announces. His destination: Californias posh, polo-playing Santa Barbara. Class and atmosphere are what Bugs wants. Swindlers, gold diggers, great fun they're what we all get from this not-so-little pre-Code gem. Edward G. Robinson portrays Bugs, showing his comedy-acting chops on film for the first time and delightfully paving the way for A Slight Case of Murder, Brother Orchid, Larceny, Inc. And more persona-skewering frolics. Mingle and enjoy, ya mugs.
