Are there kid-appropriate movies about the 1920s?

My 5th grader just finished an American history unit about the 1920s. He was very upset he didn’t get to learn more about organized crime lol.

Meanwhile all I can think of is “Chicago” which I think would be OK for him, as most of the sex-and-violence is alluded to, not explicit. I also have a 4th grader. They don’t get easily scared or grossed out, but we’re all uncomfortable around explicit language and too much misogyny.

Are there movies about the 1920s, especially crime, that are appropriate for me to watch with a 9 and 10yearold? What do you recommend?
