EDWARD G ROBINSON Licensing

Renaissance Man

Welcome to Edward G Robinson Licensing

The tough guy image of Edward G. Robinson, lips curled, posture challenging, and holding a cigar like a weapon, doesn't synch with the erudite art expert who was a big winner on “The $64,000 Question,” one of the fifties and sixties most popular programs. Perhaps it is that contradiction that best defines Robinson's power on the screen. Most of the characters he played were hoodlums, and low-life men of the streets, but Robinson was a man of great refinement.

Robinson started out in Hollywood as an import from the Broadway stage. After almost fifteen years of pounding the New York boards, the actor made it big with Little Caesar. His snarling, mad-dog performance, chewing on a cigar and spitting venom, eliminating everyone in his way, made Robinson a household name as a gangster movie star. Many of his memorable roles are gangsters, all blood kin to Rico Bandello, the Little Caesar who didn't want to die. Johnny Rocco, the mean gangster on the lamb, holed up in a isolated Florida hotel with moll and mob, holding court and hostages, in Key Largo, is another of Robinson's great, nasty, gangster portrayals.

Other favorite Robinson films include; Double Indemnity --as the relentless insurance investigator Barton Keyes. Woman in the Window is a wonderful role and maybe the closest Robinson ever came to screen romance. Fritz Lang directed Robinson as a college professor who's caught in a web of lies. Another fine part for Robinson is as the agent on the tale of a Nazi war criminal in the Orson Welles directed The Stranger.
