A robust screen adaptation of Doctorow's novel about class warfare, social change, and the gap between the rich and the poor

Sporadically engaging, Milos Forman's chronicle of American society and culture in the beginning of the twentieth century is too sprawling and dramatically diffuse, though some of the acting is excellent.

Fine, sprawling period piece. A great swan song for Cagney.

Great to see very late Cagney in solid Milos Forman film.
