The name of the character portrayed by Edward G. Robinson was Caesar Enrico Bandello. It is not "Johnny Rico". Juan "Johnnie" or "Johnny" Rico is the protagonist of <a title="Robert A. Heinlein" href="http://www.worldcat.org/wiki/Robert_A._Heinlein">Robert A. Heinlein</a>'s 1958 <a title="Science fiction" href="http://www.worldcat.org/wiki/Science_fiction">science-fiction</a> novel <a title="Starship Troopers" href="http://www.worldcat.org/wiki/Starship_Troopers">Starship Troopers</a>. And also movie and TV shows based on the book.
The Wall Street Journal used WorldCat as a reference and incorrectly used the "Johnny Rico" as the name of the protagonist in the movie Little Caesar. They or the reporter who wrote this article: <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703820904576057900030169850.html?KEYWORDS=%22johnny+rico%22">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703820904576057900030169850.html?KEYWORDS=%22johnny+rico%22</a> think highly of WorldCat. They refused to admit that an error was made. So perhaps you can make this small correction, in the interest of accuracy. It seems wrong to knowingly or stubbornly perpetuate misinformation; trifling as that misinformation may be.
