Review of The Roaring Twenties (1939) by Edgar L — 22 Mar 2012
A prime example of the 1930's gangster genre. The screenplay explores the kind of themes that are omnipresent in these pictures, but it makes its points well enough for that not to be a hindrance. As one might expect, the combination of Cagney and Bogart is a great one, and the way director Walsh chooses to stage things gives the film an energy it might not otherwise have had, and the resultant final package is very satisfying and entertaining.
