"Raoul Walsh was one of cinema's greatest action directors in both silents and talkies, and The Roaring Twenties was a breakthrough film for him. Though he had directed standard comedies and melodramas before the film, Twenties would secure him a reputation as a bankable action director at Warner Bros. in the late 1930s. James Cagney, one of the great leads of the gangster-movie era, turns in an assured performance in the film: his demise on the snowy steps of a church is one of the most famous death scenes in movie history. Humphrey Bogart has a memorable supporting performance, though he would not become a big star until two years after the film, in Walsh's High Sierra and John Huston's The Maltese Falcon. Cagney and Bogart appeared together in two other movies, the gangster melodrama Angels with Dirty Faces and the Western The Oklahoma Kid." - www.allmovie.com
