Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

bigverybadtom The title implies a fun movie, but in fact is depressing throughout. The movie starts out with three infantrymen in a trench, with Bogart rather than Cagney proving to be the nasty psychopath who genuinely loves killing. The war ends and Cagney finds he cannot get his old job back in the automotive repair shop after two years' absence. He gets a job as a taxi driver, unaware that he is part of a liquor bootlegging racket, and is caught and arrested...and later is essentially forced into working in this racket. He prospers and his war buddy becomes his lawyer, but wants out when a mutual friend gets killed. Then there is the other war buddy who is a rival in the rackets...Unlike "The Public Enemy", Cagney does not voluntarily join the rackets, and is never happy while in them. Arguably one of the strongest gangster movies which is not a morality play as such.

Richie-67-485852 What's not to like all you classic movie lover fans and for those that remember and have followed Cagney and Bogart? Enjoyable romp and glimpse of the prohibition days when anyone with guts could make a fortune in a short amount of time. Of course what happens is that others see how easy it is and instead of doing their own, they want a piece of your operation. If they cant get that, they want you dead so they can take over. That's the catch to get rich quick at least in pedaling anything illegal. The most brutal guy makes it to the top, feeds his ego and then comes crashing down as this movie is good at pointing out. Good support acting for the two lead players that adds to our fond memories of the gangster films that dominated for years at the different studios. Warner Brothers studio held the lead and when that familiar logo with the little music came on, you knew some really good entertainment was forthcoming. That's how good Warner brothers became at what they did. Cagney was known for his fast talking/replying to all situations thrown at him and was well liked both on and off screen. Good movie to eat dinner or a sandwich by, tasty drink and of course a snack or two. Its nice to be able to watch this and travel back in time and get to see why they called it "roaring" twenties.

PimpinAinttEasy The Roaring Twenties is an entertaining prohibition era tale.Three young men meet in the trenches during World War 1. Their paths cross again in the stifling prohibition era and they gang up to become the biggest bootleggers in business.There are catchy one liners nearly every minute. The film is up to its neck in one liners. The actors hardly ever pause for a breath.The acting was a bit phony. Cagney was too cake faced. He used so much make up in this film. His face after his downfall with the black grease on it was a joke. Bogart's role was ill etched. I found it pretty hard to take Bogie as a sneaky psychopath. The sweet Priscilla Lane character makes you ill.But it is an entertaining movie nonetheless. I guess it is a warning against prohibition. It is hilarious that the whole place became gentrified at the end of the film when they removed prohibition, literally crippling the bootleggers overnight.This film does offer the prototype for a gangster movie. Friends who are in an illegal business together, clash of principles, love triangles etc. This film has it all.

Ben Larson Returning from WWI, the soldiers found that jobs were scarce. Prohibition was in full bloom. Having nowhere to turn, Eddie (James Cagney) joins with his old buddy Danny (Frank McHugh) in the only work available - bootlegging.After doing all he can with cheap booze, Eddie runs into George (Humphrey Bogart) and starts getting the good stuff.John Deering narrated the film, giving the history of the period as the story progressed. It really gave context to what was happening.Eddie was mad about a young singer played by Priscilla Lane of the Lane sisters. This caused problems as she was in love with another friend, Lloyd (Jeffrey Lynn). The crash of 29 and the end of prohibition changed everything and those on top of the world soon found the bottom.
