The Roaring Twenties (23-Oct-1939)
Director: Raoul Walsh Writers: Jerry Wald; Richard Macaulay; Robert Rossen From novel: The World Moves On by Mark Hellinger (unpublished story) Musical Director: Leo F. Forbstein Keywords: Crime, Prohibition, Film Noir American soldiers Eddie, George, and Lloyd return from the Great War finding their country changed and Prohibition beginning; chance brings Eddie and George into the bootlegging business, and Lloyd their lawyer. On Black Tuesday in 1929, Eddie loses his entire fortune with the stock market crash. Filmed on a relatively generous budget and with an excellent cast, but lacking the intensity of Cagney's earlier pre-Code gangster films.
