Cagney Cavalcade: The Roaring Twenties

on BBC One London

featuring one of the screen's great stars and finest actors James Cagney
with Humphrey Bogart, Priscilla Lane, Gladys George

Humphrey Bogart teams with Cagney in the last of the great gangster films of the 1930s in which two buddies from World War I are reunited in the boot-legging rackets of the prohibition era.
Writing of tonight's film in 1951, Kenneth Tynan said that Bogart and Cagney presented 'an absorbing conflict of styles - with Cagney throwing his hard, screwing punches and Bogart lazily ducking them. Cagney's was the more accomplished exhibition of ring-craft, but Bogart's sewage snarl won him the decision.'
