James Cagney thrills in a rare (and limber) song-and-dance performance as composer-entertainer George M. Cohan. This nostalgic biography is told in flashbacks, covering Cohan's formative years becoming Broadway's brightest star and touching upon his loves, musicals, and artistic triumphs. Director Michael Curtiz(The Adventures of Robin Hood) offers Cagney ample opportunities to invent an utterly charming performance in what is practically a one-man show. If you've never seen Cagney as a hoofer, you're in for a treat: his dancing is as dynamic as anything else he's ever done on screen.--Tom Keogh

Rating: - Dandy
The stars must have been alligned for "Yankee Doodle Dandy".Neither star James Cagney or director Michael Curtiz were known for musical endeavors.This film has no right to work but darned if it doesn't.It could have been a time capsule curio made to boost morale of the wartime audience.But it's unapologetic sunniness and patriotism is timeless and in these troubled times we could sure use more of it.I'm sure some facts of George M.Cohan's life have been embellished but I don't care.I ...

Rating: - required watching
I loved this movie when it first came out. If you like Berlin you'll love George M Cohan. 'Should be shown on TV every 4th of July. Want to wave the flag.
Rating: - james cagney at his best
james cagney doing a musical, absolutly brilliant. he realy was one of the greatest actors ever to grace our screens. i think he could turn his hand to anything from gangsters to cops to musicals in this he plays george m cohan a singer/songwriter this was a film he really wanted to do and he does it so well its one of my favorite films amoung the songs is the title of the film and a song called 'over there' a rallying cry for the yanks. if you have not seen this film you dont know what your missing. ...

Rating: - Fantastic movie begs for color
Years ago I recorded this movie when it was shown on TCM and was colorized. It is a movie I have always loved to watch and in color is so much better and enjoyable. I know very few movies were being made in color when this movie was made but it really should have been used for this one. The dance numbes are magnificent. Warner Bros. should really consider releasing the colorized version as has been done with some other movies.I would buy it in a heart beat.
