The Roaring Twenties

The Roaring Twenties is a term sometimes used to refer to the 1920s, characterizing the era's distinctive cultural edge in most of the world's major cities for a period of sustained economic prosperity. French speakers dubbed it the "années folles" ("Crazy Years"),emphasizing the era's social, artistic, and cultural dynamism.

In 1939 director Raoul Walsh did a movie called the roaring Twenties about Three men attempt to make a living in Prohibitionist America after returning home from fighting together in World War I.
