The Roaring Twenties

Three veterans navigate the prohibition era with a mix of raw ambition and reluctant criminality, in this action-filled epic starring James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart. Out of the celebrations following the end of the First World War, three Americans adjust to civilian life with varying degrees of legality and morality. In a tumultuous US society determined to disguise its pain with champagne, the friends are catapulted into a web of bootleggers and racketeers. An all-star cast bring gravitas and high drama to Walsh’s undervalued classic, which rivals the finest gangster films of the era.
