    [My favorite Cagney work is the well-deserved big brother in all his films. ] AN EPIC OF TIME AND HISTORY. A TRUE NOIR. The film really does what it said in the preface, it is a romantic and tragic memory. Cagney is also great? A wonderful performance beyond the times, slap the thigh!

    nice! A World War I veteran from a simple car mechanic to a gangster who rose and fell with the Great Depression of Prohibition, the fate of one person told the entire 1920s. The fast-paced narrative also has vivid characters. The announcer-like narration lends the film an epic feel, though it becomes a bit of a melody by the time Roosevelt takes the stage.

The Roaring Twenties quotes

  • George Hally: I always say, when you got a job to do, get somebody else to do it.

  • Panama Smith: I'm sick of watching you try to put out that torch you carry for her with a lot of cheap hooch. Who does the kid look like?

    Eddie Bartlett: Like her.

    Panama Smith: And they got a nice house.

    Eddie Bartlett: Yeah, it's a nice house if you like that kind of a house, but for me, uh, I'll take a hotel anytime. You know that.

    Panama Smith: Me too. Ain't it funny how our tastes have always run the same? Ever since the first time we met. I can just picture you living in the suburbs, working in a garden, raising flowers and kids. Wouldn't that be a laugh.

    Eddie Bartlett: Yeah, wouldn't I look cute?
