Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Roaring Twenties is a 1939 gangster movie starring James Cagney, Priscilla Lane, Humphrey Bogart, and Gladys George. Directed by Raoul Walsh.It opens during World War I, where three very different soldiers meet in a foxhole. One of them is Eddie Bartlett, a simple mechanic from a city that is probably New York. He returns home only to find that his job has been given away. As he struggles to earn money as a cab driver, a mix up results in his arrest. To thank him for keeping his mouth shut, speakeasy owner Panama Smith bails him out of jail, and the two go into business with each other.Considered by many to be the definitive gangster picture. Not to be confused with the era of the same name (in which he is mostly set though).

Black and Gray Morality: Make no mistake, George is a complete villain but Eddie, Lloyd, Panama, and Jean are all part of a criminal enterprise, [though Lloyd and Jean leave when things go too far.

Cruel Mercy: Eddie sells George his entire cab empire (cabs used to distribute the alcohol) in order to cover up his debts after the stock market crash, but George allows him to keep one cab.
