After the WWI Armistice Lloyd Hart goes back to practice law, former saloon keeper George Hally turns to bootlegging, and out-of-work Eddie Bartlett becomes a cab driver. Eddie builds a fleet of cabs through delivery of bootleg liquor and hires Lloyd as his lawyer. George becomes Eddie's partner and the rackets flourish until love and rivalry interfere.
In 1919, in the end of the World War I, the G.I. Eddie Bartlett meets George Hally and the student of Law School Lloyd Hart in a trench and sooner the war ends. Back in USA, Eddie is not able to find a job and is sustained by his great friend Danny Green, who offers Eddie to share his cab and make some money working as cab driver. Eddie decides to visit Jean Sherman, who had corresponded with him during the war and is crazy about him, and for his surprise, she is a teenager. In 1920, with the 18th Amendment, the Volstead Act is in force, beginning the period of the unpopular Prohibition. Eddie accidentally meets the owner of a speakeasy Panama Smith, they become close friends and she introduces him in bootlegging of liquor. Eddie becomes rich, meets Jean Sherman again and falls for her. He also raises a profitable partnership with George and Lloyd is hired as his lawyer. In 1924, bootlegging has a grown from individual effort to a big business associated with corruption, violence and murder, and the light machine gun Tommy becomes an important tool in this business. Lloyd and Jean fall in love for each other, and Eddie has a great deception. Later, on 19 October 1929 with the Black Tuesday, Eddie looses all his fortune, and when the Prohibition falls after thirteen years in force, he returns to the activity of cab driver. On the Christmas Eve, when he meets Jean again as a client of his cab, his life is leaded to a tragic end.
Imagine this for a film plot: Soldier fights in Afghanistan , returns to America only to find there's no job for him and the girl he met on an internet chat room is entirely different from how he imagined and to make ends meet starts dealing drugs and find himself climbing up the underworld ladder . You see that fictional plot is very very similar to the plot of THE ROARING TWENTIES and shows how formulaic cinema plots are . It also shows that there's an appetite of movie goers who enjoy this type of tale despite the large and small changes in society over the decades

THE ROARING TWENTIES starts with a caption by Mark Hellinger lamenting the 1920s as being the decade which was marked by prohibition on alcohol . From the outset the film takes a totally unrepentant stand that prohibition was a complete disaster being both unenforceable and allowing a market to be controlled by gangsters . Hellinger hopes that America will never see such dark days again but if he were to see the damage brought on to American society in the 21st century by illegal drugs you get the sneaking suspicion that the only way to solve the problem would be by legalising the problem . Drugs including alcohol are certainly a menace to individuals but the menace to society is a bigger one if they're outlawed

This isn't a bad gangster film but seems forgotten alongside many of its contemporaries . One thing missing is that it lacks an emotional core like ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES which made a more compelling movie . It also seems to run out of the steam in the second where plot turns rely on unconvincing coincidences in order to drive the story forward which is a shame since the first half is so good This is a very strange movie experience.

Its a traditional gangster movie: good guy turns bad but is redeemed oh and he incidentally has a love that he's not good enough for.

And it features both Cagney and Bogart when both of them were tired of playing gangsters and their manner is tired too. These guys have no pizazz, no life. That makes the next fact heavy: its designed as if it were a documentary both on the times and this fellow's life. It is partly newsreel in fact, with that common voice-over style that even by then had become so distinct.

One thing that's unsettling is that there's supposed to be a distinct separation between the time of the movie and the time of the story in the movie. We're supposed to be looking back, from a time of angst to a time of sensual freedom. The problem is that its about 70 years from the time of this, and we miss the jokes, the distance between these two. It was supposed to be a play where the nature of the play-acting was obvious. Its gone now.
