Edward G Robinson, originally Emmanuel Goldenberg from Romania, became famous for playing the tough guy in the early gangster films. Although apparently, quiet and sensitive in real life, he could command a menacing screen presence, never more so than in the fabulous ‘Key Largo’, where he, although his power is in decline, reduces Claire Trevor to tears and is more than a match for Humphrey Bogart.No real Italian would enjoy such a Spaghetti Bolognese, but, if you know your gangster lore, the wise guys seem to exist on nothing but. So, if Eddie G was a vegetarian, this would be for him…
