    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This was the last film in which Edward G. Robinson portrayed a gangster.
    • Goofs
      When Smooth is showing the gang slides of the painting and museum layout, he is standing in front of the screen and uses a cane for a pointer - but no shadows are cast on the screen, nor are any of the images projected on himself or the cane. This reveals the images are being rear-projected on the screen and are not coming from the slide projector on the table in the same room. Any shadows seen on the screen are being made from a studio light coming from a different direction.
    • Quotes

      • Florian: It's a tough name!
    • Alternate versions
      Original VHS by Disney is 90 minutes, whereas the film's initial release and dvd release run 99 minutes.
