Five Star Final (1931) Mervyn LeRoy One of Edward G.

E.G.'s best role was probably Double Indemnity or Key Largo

I saw Five Star Final-he has a scene with Boris Karloff.
Roger Moore did a funny impression of him--he was talking about a director he worked with -- not sure who it was but he started imitating Edward G Robinson saying "Let's go in and look at the rushes. Yeah. Hey I look pretty good don't I? Not some kind of jerk."
I think Moore was saying the director didn't like actors participating in reviewing the performance footage, I guess this director remembered Robinson for doing that.
This is a funny Suspense episode for the post show moments--Edward G Robinson discusses Autolite and also takes over the announcer duties.
