" Director Milos Forman has woven a rich and detailed tapestry of history and fiction with the colorful threads of American life at the turn of the century. Ragtime is a grand and sweeping film. It's artful work of entertainment with excellent attention paid to the period setting and superb acting by an outstanding cast, highlighting James Cagney as crusty Police Commissioner Rheinlander Waldo - his first appearance in twenty years. Not surprisingly this movie was nominated for eight Academy Awards!
The central character of Ragtime is a Coal-house Walker, Jr., a young black ragtime piano player who gets a sweet taste of success, only to be undone by local bigots in an American society less than fifty years after the Civil War. Members of the upper-middle-class family that befriend him and his common-law wife and child are drawn into the tragic development of his rage, which escalates to crisis proportions.
An epic film bursting with elegance, grandeur and talent, Ragtime is a vivid portrayal of a dynamic era in America, never before captured so completely. " Used videodisc.
