As one of the early classics that influenced Hong Kong gangster films, the character structure and performance are really excellent. The final set of shots is absolutely classic.

James. Cagney James Cagney
saw James Cagney's performance for the first time, and he really is the cool guy of the older generation. It is estimated that Al Pacino was influenced by him. The second half of the show was especially good. This gentleman won the 15th Academy Award for Best Actor for his biographical musical and the first Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute.

Humphrey Bogart Humphrey Bogart
did not expect the big name to play a supporting role, hereby point out. However, his role itself is not very full, and it is not very playable for a cold faction like him.

Gladys George Gladys George
, the heroine's performance is the essence of the film, very brilliant, and even covered the light of the two male big names.

    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. It's very rare for Bogart not to be handsome in the whole film, the last few expressions are so funny haha

    This plot was also the main theme at the time. In the film, it was constantly mentioned that the new world of democracy and legal system would replace the rotten and dark old society. The gangster forces shaped by the prohibition of alcohol in the 1920s in the United States began to engage in drugs after 33 years. "Scarface" is also about the protagonist's rise and fall with the rise and fall of Prohibition. The male protagonist licks the dog until he has nothing, and even if the woman has a child, she will lick her until she licks herself to death. The biggest highlight is Bogart's cowardice, the image of shaking hands is too funny

The Roaring Twenties quotes

  • Henderson: [talking about Jean and Eddie] She seems like a nice kid. I hope she can out-talk him.

    Panama Smith: I hope she can outrun him.

  • George Halley: You must've been readin' about Napoleon.

    Eddie Bartlett: What's botherin' you?

    George Halley: First, you used to ask me about things, then you began to tell me, now you ignore me. My feelin's is gettin' hurt.

    Eddie Bartlett: Oh, my poor delicate little rose bud. Ain't that a shame. Just as long as your bank roll ain't hurtin', you got nothing to squawk about.
