Virtual Saturday Night at the Movies
Toronto Film Society will be screening Alfred Hitchcock’s Little Caesar (1931) straight to your home on Saturday, August 8, 2026 at 7:15 p.m. (ET)! Directed by Mervyn LeRoy, starring Edward G. Robinson, Douglas Fairanks Jr., and Glenda Farrell.
Join us for our August screening! Our fabulous pre-show begins at 7:15 pm and the programme begins at 7:30 pm.
A landmark of early gangster cinema, Little Caesar helped define the genre with its gritty atmosphere and unforgettable performance by Edward G. Robinson as the ruthless Rico Bandello.
Released in 1931, the film captures the rise-and-fall intensity of Prohibition-era crime stories, with Robinson’s fierce, compact energy turning Rico into one of Hollywood’s first great gangster icons. For anyone who loves classic crime films, this is one of the big ones: lean, tough, and powered by the kind of performance that made Warner Bros. gangster pictures legendary.
