Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942)

The life and music of George M. Cohan,portrayed by Jimmy Cagney. Upon seeing Cagney’s performance in this film, Cohan himself exclaimed: “My God, what an act to follow!”

This was Jimmy Cagney’s favorite of all his films. He was often typecast as a gangster, but his rare appearances as a dancer are thrilling.

“He is so cocky and sure a dancer that you feel yourself grinning with pleasure at his movements. It’s quite possible that he has more electricity than Cohan himself had.” Pauline Kael.

With James Cagney, Joan Leslie, Walter Huston, Richard Whorf, George Tobias, Irene Manning, Rosemary DeCamp, Jeanne Cagney, S.Z. Sakall, George Barbier.

Directed by Michael Curtiz. Written by Robert Buckner and Edmund Joseph. Photographed by James Wong Howe. Songs by George M. Cohan. Warners. 126 minutes.
