Product Description:
A patriotic recreation of the life and times of George M. Cohan, with many of his songs.
Amazon.com:
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: - I'm A Yankee Doodle Dandy
If you want to have a couple hours of good old fashion Patiotism, you need to see this movie.What great music and dancing.Just a wonderful family movie.
Rating: - The American Spirit
I've heard of him and many of the songs he'd written, but I never knew the story of George M Cohan until seeing this wonderful movie. I also didn't know he'd received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his work which truly was of great service to our country. It really depicts what has made up, and moved, the American Spirit in the past and as such is an emotionally moving as well as a highly entertaining and uplifting movie to experience.
Rating: - A Real Dandy
What's to say, they don't make movies like this anymore because there incapable of it. There are no Cagneys left,Bogart and Becall are long gone.Gable, Stewart, the Duke are all gone.

Yankee Doodle Danydy is perhaps one of ... Read More

A great musical that will make you love America.I try to watch this film once a year on Flag Day (I reserve the Fourth of July for Twilight Zone Marathons).James Cagney is great dancing around and singing patriotic tunes, one of his best roles and his only Oscar.
