Yankee Doodle Dandy is a nostalgic view of the golden era of show business and of the renowned musical composer, playwright, actor, dancer and singer George M. Cohan, who made it glitter.
A big, old-fashioned rousing biopic of patriotic showman George M. Cohan, played with energy and gusto by Jimmy Cagney in his only Oscar-winning performance.
You will find as warm and delightful a musical picture as has hit the screen in years, a corking good entertainment and as affectionate, if not as accurate, a film biography as has ever -- yes, ever -- been made.

James Cagney played George M. Cohan with great vigor and won his only Oscar for that brilliant performance.
It delivers its red-white-and-blue patriotism to you by the exuberant bushel, but this grand old film reminds us that there was a time when patriotism was more heartfelt than bullying and jingoistic.
