Ripped from the headlines of the turbulent era between the Great War and the Great Depression, this dynamic, nostalgia-tinged crime drama balances tommy-gun action with epic historical sweep. Legends James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart star as army buddies whose fortunes rise and fall as their fates intersect, first in a foxhole on the front lines of World War I, then in Manhattan’s Prohibition-era underworld. Directed by Hollywood master Raoul Walsh, and based on a story by prolific journalist turned screenwriter and producer Mark Hellinger, The Roaring Twenties brought to a close the celebrated Warner Bros. gangster cycle of the 1930s, and it remains one of the greatest and most influential crime films of all time.

  • The Roaring Twenties

    Written on 15. October 2005 by Carl.
    This customer review refers to a alternative version.

    Fantastico! Film estremamente nostalgico in cui, cosa abbastanza rara nei gangstermovies anni 30, il protagonista ( un Cagney con una recitazione sopra le righe) è un individuo fondamentalmente buono.
    Si nota la splendida regia di Raoul Walsh!
