“A Puny Case of Destroy” represented a welcome change of stagger in 1938 for Edward G Robinson whereby he was able to send up his gangster image. Robinson plays Remy Marcos, a bootlegger during prohibition who goes straight with its repeal and into the legitimate brewery business. The only quandary is that his beer tastes lousy and business is poor now that the suckers are not forced to engage his product through strong arm tactics.

The film was written by Damon Runyon, among others, and it reflects this with the slang and wealth of “miniature” characters which possess the film. The premise of the crook trying to go straight is a knowing faulty for the hilarious comedy which follows, including Remy’s wife Ruth Donnelly, flicking between highbrow talk and slang as she goes up market and splendid benefit from Allen Jenkins, Ed Brophy and others as thugs who have to toe the line. Even one of the Unimaginative Slay Kids appears as the child from the Orphanage Remy grew up in and chosen to consume a month in Remy’s house. The scene at the orphanage with Margaret Hamilton, “Ain’t changed a bit, as slick as a horse hair couch” says Remy to her, is as humorous as anything in any film of the thirties. Also, the scene when the boys discuss the disposal of 4 uninteresting bodies is side splitting. As the place progresses, the jokes pile up, one after another, never letting up suitable to the wonderful attain.
The DVD print is marvelous and there is the usual trustworthy list of extras which Warner Brothers offer on their DVDs. The documentary commentary is more tantalizing than the hesitant and repetitive drone of the verbal commentary which can be played with the film. A pity too, because the commentator has some worthwhile observations to manufacture and places the film squarely in its context of the 1938 Warner Brother’s production line.

If the DVD is purchased as allotment of the Warner’s Tough Guys Collection of which it is the forgotten gem, it is immense value.
“A Itsy-bitsy Case of Slay” led me to comparisons with “Arsenic and Used Lace”. Maybe it’s the bothersome corpses, the underworld characters, the clueless relatives, or the bumbling law enforcement characters but there is definitely a similarity. Most of all, the similarity is that the movies are quite comical and very delicious. “Arsenic and Primitive Lace” scores higher in my book due to the quality of the acting, directing and writing but both are well worth the time. Most people are aquainted with “Mature Lace” and, if not, it’s fairly available . This was the first oppotunity I had to perceive “A Puny Case of Assassinate”.
The best fraction of ASCOM is the preformance of Edward G. Robinson; one of the stout actors of the 30’s and 40’s. He plays a gracious “heavy” yet fits legal in with the humor. The only other name in the cast that I recognized was the wisenheimer sidekick character actor Allen Jenkins. The spot, written in piece by Damon Runyon, has a Prohibition bootlegger go legitimate after booze was legalized again. When the bootlegger (Robinson) had a monopoly, it didn’t matter what his beer tasted like. Once the professionals got support into the market, no one wanted his notice. So the money problems mount up, he’s in debt, his daughter is going to win married and he has to pay off his loan or lose everything. The stage is position for a lot of captivating twists and turns.
If ASCOM has a short coming (and this wouldn’t have mattered worthy befriend in 1937) it’s that some of what we are asked to derive is a bit too considerable. I’m positive fans of “CSI” would have a fit with the outcome. However, the movie puts us in a mood to relax and be pleased so why bother with such details. “A Shrimp Case of Slay” is one of those films I like to call a retro-sleeper.
