Illegal (1955) marked a period of transition for Edward G. Robinson. For much of the early ’50s, he’d been on the radar of the House Un-American Activities Committee: though never officially blacklisted, Robinson wasn’t starring in big-budgeted A-pictures as he had been in the ‘30 and ’40s. Though the budget was still small, working at his old studio Warner Bros. gave him a strong leading role that partially returned Robinson to his former Little Caesar glory. Robinson is superb as a district attorney undergoing a crisis of conscious after he sends an innocent man to the electric chair.
