Featured review
Enjoyed this 1935 Classic in which Edward G. Robinson plays a duel role as Arthur Ferguson, (Jonesy) and Killer Mannion. Arthur Ferguson is an ordinary law abiding citizen and is rather a very meek person. Unfortunately, Ferguson looks just like a gangster named Killer Mannion who is a harden criminal and they both seem to have the same facial appearance. Jean Arthur, (Wilhelmina Clark) gives a great supporting role along with a great cast of veteran actors. There is a split screen between Arthur Ferguson and Killer Mannion and Edward G. Robinson gives an outstanding performance in 1935 which was not seen very often in films during those days. Killer Mannion tries to murder Ferguson in a bank hold up but things get out of hand. There is plenty of drama and comedy. This is truly a great Classic Film. Enjoy
