A classic gangster film set during the Prohibition Era

The Roaring Twenties (1939) follows Eddie Bartlett (James Cagney), George Hally (Humphrey Bogart) and Lloyd Hart (Jeffrey Lynn) through the violent and varied time of  1920s America with regards to the Prohibition Era and the Stock Market Crash of 1929. This classic crime thriller features Priscilla Lane as Jean Sherman, and Gladys George as Panama Smith. Gladys George was nominated for Best Actress in 1936. You may recognize Priscilla Lane from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1942 movie, Saboteur.

The movie simultaneously pays homage to gangster movies from the early 1930s and has become a classic itself. Directed by Raoul Walsh, the movie is based on a short story “The World Moves On” by columnist Mark Hellinger and was written by Jerry Wald, Richard Macaulay and Robert Rossen. Sparks fly with strong performances from Cagney and George as the cast navigates the uncertainty of the post-WWI world and the disruptive 18th Amendment. The dialogue will hit you as hard as the action sequences in The Roaring Twenties.
