Black Tuesday (1954)
3/10
Eddie's strictly a villain
18 January 2024
In Black Tuesday, Edward G. Robinson and Peter Graves are on death row. Eddie G is a heartless murderer and a major tough guy. There are no soft "Brother Orchid" moments in this one. He's as bad as it gets; he also has nothing to lose so he plans an escape while walking to the electric chair. If he fails and gets shot, who cares? He succeeds, kills a few guards, and takes Peter with him to his hideout. Together, they plan a robbery and a final escape.

Do you think anything will go wrong? Probably, but only to show how evil Eddie G really is and how Peter is sweet on the inside but just in the wrong place at the wrong time. There have only been two Edward G. Robinson movies I've turned off, so I did stick with Black Tuesday to its end. I knew it wouldn't be very good, and I didn't like Eddie G in a strictly villain role, but I am a huge fan and I like to support him in all his films.
