It looks like Edward G. Robinson is mocking his patented gangster character but actually that isn't quite what is going on. It is a movie where that character is put into a different situation where he is surrounded by ardent pacifists with no easy way out. The funniest scene might have been where the Robinson character and his longtime girl friend are in the back seat of a car in a "serious" discussion while the big ol' cowboy, played by Ralph Bellamy, is practicing his bird calls while driving, bird calls that seem to punctuate the conversation going on in the back seat.
The ending was unexpected and my guess is that there were several options considered and maybe even filmed before decided on the one seen in the movie. Anyway the film rates a 7 in my book; a good if not great movie with an actual morality message squeezed in.
