I didn't expect much from this film and my instincts were right. The plot is uninteresting and confusing, with little happening in the process.
Edward G. Robinson was only months away from becoming a big star at "Warner Bros." when he was making "Widow from Chicago." His gangster character is okay but he hasn't a lot to do.
With a running time of just over an hour, I'd have preferred the pace to have been quicker. Instead, it was cumbersome.
Look out for a young Neil Hamilton - the future Commissioner Gordon of the 1960s "Batman" TV show.
If you can, avoid this film.
