Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential video: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating: - A Classic MovieA great movie - one of the greatest of all times. Colorized, it is even better than the original. Would recoemend this to anyone! So much extra on the DVD to entertain you! Rating: - Yankee Doodle Dandyas i am not a very good writer, i must say first of all amzon rocks as this was shipped and delivered extremely fast. Now as far as the movie goes, this is one of James Cagneys finest performances, I am a big cagney fan and love him in the gangster films, but his portrayl of george M. Cohan is Unbeleiveable !!!! i am glad he won an oscar for this role, one of my favorite scenes is when he meets up with eddie foy, played by eddie foy jr. remarkable. all around this a definite 5 star movie. Rating: - Yankee Doodle DandyThis is undoubtly the greatest movies that James Cagney ever made. He has always wanted to dance and he got his chance in this movie, and receiving his only academy award for his performance. The part where the father is dying is so well played, you could believe that it may be your own father dying. James Cagney truely was one of the greatest and most amazing actors and person that ever lived. Rating:  - yankee doodle dandy was a good moviei liked the movie...it was good americana and a good history of vaudeville as well as a spirited patriotic film. cagney was great as cohan and i liked his dancing especially" give my regards to broadway". strange as it may seem..these movies are truer as to how americans feel about america than any of the darker ones. the way we won the war....rescuing the world and saving it from hunger after we won....it proved true as cagney sang...about how the yanks were coming. it is a great movie. mary ...

Filmed in Black and White, this beautifully restored film features Cagney's wide range of talent as he portrays George M. Cohan, the quintessential early 20th century American showman. Cagney, by all accounts, captures the unique song-and-dance stylings of the original Cohan, yet adds ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
