Excellent! I love you, Jim!!

I love, love, loved this film. Last year, my Dad checked out 'Yankee Doodle Dandy' from the library. I loved it! James Cagney has been-and ever will be- my favorite actor!!
All right. You're probably saying: All right, get on with the review.
Bad points? None. WELL... It is a little strange the way it jumps from 'Over There' to Dad's dead, and nothing at all about how Josie and Mom died!!
Good points?
Cagney makes an excellent Cohan-can you imagine Fred Aistaire as Cohan? I can't. Neither could Aistaire.
I liked Joan Leslie. She makes a good Mary.
I liked the movie all over. And I love James Cagney.

Peck's Bad Boy

It's got energy to spare, and Cagney is a dynamo as the song and dance man George M. Cohan. The ending is heavy on the flag-waving, but after all it was 1942 and the war was on. There are other overly sentimental scenes, but in this biographical movie that is more the fault of Cohan than it is of the picture.

Cagney can't sing worth a lick, but he can dance, even if he does look like Rocco doing a buck and wing. His presence on the screen is like a tornado on a Kansas landscape. Walter Huston is a real standout as Cohan's father. The direction is tight and constantly moves the story forward - it doesn't lag for a second. It's one of the best up-beat movies ever made. I remember it being show frequently on TV (at least in the NYC area) during the 1950s-60s, and everytime I watched it, it knocked me out. (I loved trying to duplicate Cagney's dance bit that he does on the walls, to my mother's great annoyance.) Definitely worth a watch.

Pride of a nation

Cagney at his best capturing the spirit of national pride for which the US is famous. His singing isn't really singing but it tug s at your heart. Cagney may be better known for his gangster portrayals in films but this film shows his true brilliance as a stage actor and a vaudeville performer.
The extras with this DVD are well the cost.

This DVD is just fantastic..a thoroughly good Sunday movie, inspirational, well acted and some of the best dance routines ever seen on a movie. Jimmy Cagney is a surprise package, a wonderful dancer and perfect for this role. This film was great in everyway, great performances, great storey and a musical as well. The best!!

Yankee Doodle Dandy

In my opinion this was James Cagney's best role as an actor, and that is saying something thinking about all the classic movies he stared in. This movie not only showed what a great actor Cagney was but he sings and dances into your heart as George M. Cohan. Absolutely a truly great movie!
