For a while, Prigozhin was riding so high that he started channeling Julius Caesar AND Edward G. Robinson’s Dathan:
“I led my men into Rostov-on-Don and took control of everything! Without a shot fired.
Whaddaya thinka your Pooty-Poot Peter the Great-wannabe Messiah now?!Rubicon, Schmubicon.
I got yo’ Rubicon, right here, buddy boy!”

Watching “All My Sons” (1948), starring Edward G. Robinson and Burt Lancaster, on the Kino Lorber blu-ray enjoying it quite a bit. Glad KL is releasing this and other classic era Universal and Paramount features that otherwise seem to have been neglected.
