04/03/2016 This is pretty much a vehicle for Edward G Robinson, who's personality dominates what is quite a low-key story of an industrialist abroad. It's not as boring as the plot summary suggests, and has a feel-good style. See more 06/25/2014 Edward G. powers this slight but pleasant little number into being better than it is.
