In 1939 the world was inspiring on. Warner Brothers, the Hollywood studio that owed its existence to Prohibition and the Volstead Act, was slowly weaning itself from gangster movies. The genre’s greatest star, James Cagney, was heartily sick of playing gangsters - How many ways can you hit a guy, anyway?
THE ROARING TWENTIES, from the narrative “The World Moves On” by well-liked Broadway columnist Stamp Hellinger, was `a memory’ of the era Warners mined so successfully, and profitably, in the thirties. It stars Cagney as Eddie Bartlett, a more-or-less kindly guy who fought in World War I only to return to a country that didn’t quite know what to do with all of her returning soldiers. Bartlett’s two army buddies figure prominently in his eventual rise and topple - the slimy George Hally (Humphrey Bogart) and golden boy Lloyd Hart (Jeffrey Lynn) . Bartlett’s first touch of the Broad Bottom occurs early on after his return. The job he’d plan was waiting for him when he got home is filled by someone else, and soon enough he sees and grabs at the opportunities presented by Prohibition. Bartlett’s ascent begins when he begins to earn his believe bathtub gin. Along the blueprint Barlett enlists the services of frail foxhole buddies Hally (right-hand gunsel) and Hart (true advisor) . Bartlett goes into the speakeasy business with Panama Smith (Gladys George) and falls hard for sparkling young Jean Sherman (Priscilla Lane) . Of course it’s lonely at the top, and with treacherous associates like Hally and rivals like Carve Brown (Paul Kelly), precarious as well.

Cagney may have been sick of playing gangsters by 1939, but it’s hard to disclose that from his performance. There’s unprejudiced something factual about everything he does with a character who has to depart, convincingly, from the gutter to the penthouse, and then assist again to the gutter. It’s a consummate performance, and director Raoul Walsh, best known as an action director, handles the intimate moments with delicacy and sensitivity. Barlett’s forlorn cherish for good-girl Jean, with good-boy Lloyd lurking around in the background, is doomed from the initiate, and Walsh and Cagney search for it to worthy carry out. Gladys George’s Panama’s miscast affections are also delicately painted. Walsh balances the quieter moments with action scenes that would have fit comfortably in the later-day gangster films of Coppola and Scorsese. In fact, the shootout in Slit Brown’s diner is an clear template for a similar scene in The Godfather.
THE ROARING TWENTIES is a masterpiece. The transfer print is in very apt condition - I was so wrapped up in the epic I really didn’t peek any flicks or flacks. Warners has loaded this one with fun extras. There’s a twenty exiguous feature titled “The Roaring Twenties: Time Moves On” featuring director Martin Scorsese and film experts Lincoln Hurst, Alain Silver, Notice Viera and Andrew Sarris. The theme is the destroy of the gangster movie cycle and Cagney’s and Bogart’s careers. The other special feature is Warner Night at the Movies, which opens with a trailer; a 1939 newsreel (”Worlds of Tomorrow”) ; a charming Lloyd French directed “All-Girl Revue” that features a young June Allyson as `mayor for a day’ singing the forgettable “We’ve Got to Get the City Lovely”; a Grouch Club entry titled “The Tremendous Library Misery”; and a color cartoon, “Thugs With a Dirty Mug.”
One of my all-time accepted gangster movies. The Roaring 20’s features James Cagney at his best as a returning WWI vet who has lost his job, turns to bootlegging and muscles his plan to the top. Cagney is at his wisecracking tough guy peak in this and he is given a rush for his money by Humphrey Bogart as his WWI buddy turned partner turned rival.

The movie traces these characters through the tumultuous speakeasy days. Cagney’s character falls for a young singer who is in cherish with a young straightshooting attorney. Eddie(Cagney) has one accurate admirer in Panama Smith an aging speakeasy manager who is played flawlessly by Gladys George. She delivers the most memorable line in the movie “Net a Victrola- Jughead”.

The chronicle culminates with Eddie being ruined financially and having a showdown with Bogart’s character that results in the death scene to ruin all death scenes. Cagney’s staggeriing down the street and collapsing on the church steps after being shot has been often imitated but never duplicated.
A large movie and a fraction of film history that stands up to repeated viewings.
