The Roaring Twenties -- Three World War I buddies clash in a vicious bootlegging racket as love and rivalry interfere.

Ex-Golden Gloves fighter Danny Kenny has it all worked out. He'll turn pro to bankroll his brother's dream of writing a symphonic paean to the teeming city where they both live: New York. But life pulls the sidewalk out from under Danny when he's blinded during a brutal 15-round welterweight title bout. James Cagney plays Danny in this heart-tugging melodrama co-starring Ann Sheridan, Anthony Quinn, film-debuting Arthur Kennedy and in a rare acting turn before becoming a director, Elia Kazan. Among familiar studio players, there's an unbilled one: a vivid backlot and rear-screen Manhattan. "Sometimes we wonder," The New York Times' Bosley Crowther wrote, "whether it wasn't really the Warner brothers who got New York from the Indians, so diligent and devoted have they been in feeling the great city's pulse."

What's good for the goose is good for the gander in this drama about Paula (Ingrid Bergman), a successful decorator who gets so tired of her lover Roger's (Yves Montand) endless parade of young mistresses that she begins her own affair with a much younger lawyer (Anthony Perkins). But her happiness is short-lived as her reputation begins to suffer and Roger insinuates himself back into her life. Anatole Litvak directs this award-winning film.
