Directed by Raoul Walsh, "The Roaring Twenties" was released in 1939 and starred James Cagney, Priscilla Lane and Humphrey Bogart. A Warner Bros. Picture.
The film was extremely popular in the USSR in 1940-1950s. My Dad watched it in Moscow cinemas more than dozen times. It was advertized on bills under the name "The Soldier's lot in America".
Cagney vs. Bogart. And yet another fictionalized version of Texas Guinan. How many were there? The screen's first, after the real Guinan, was Mae West in "Night After Night" with George Raft.
Stupenda pellicola, certo non è chissà che cosa ma comunque è una pellicola godevole, c'è un anacronismo cioè il fatto che la pellicola è piena di canzoni classiche degli anni 1920, ma gli arrangiamenti e gli stili vocali sono quelli del 1939. Non viene fatto alcun tentativo di riprodurre il suono reale della musica da ballo degli anni 1920, quindi stupenda e stupenda per me come valutazione è 8.
Uhh, what are you talking about? It's a film set primarily in the 1920s, but the opening scenes are set during WWI, the late ‘10s. The final scenes are set some time in the ‘30s.
Finished watching this today in my U.S History class. Great movie.

Priscilla Lane, what a beauty!
We’re going through this again aren’t we?
Today is Jimmy Cagney's birthday. This is one of a handful of the finest gangster movies ever filmed... an EPIC by Raoul Walsh.
I love Panama Smith!
Great cast. Great movie!

the scene at 1:20 is from angels with dirty faces
no it's not, it's from 'The Public Enemy'
It's probably from both. Hollywood is always re-using scenes like that.
Uhh no... The crash was in '29. This takes place during the 1920s
It's a 1939 movie about the 20s
