Oh what an out-and-out joy is this film!
As you know by now, the fabulous James Cagney sings, dances and acts his draw through this rousing biopic of George M. Cohan. He’s directed by Michael Curtiz, a director who apparently could work in any genre of movie, and construct masterpieces. Pull up his name on imdb and you’ll contemplate what I mean.

Anyways, the film traces his life from his infant vaudevillian beginnings to his conquering of Broadway. After seeing this, you’ll know why there’s a statue of Cohan in Times Square.
The acting, as expected, is ample, with the sweet Joan Leslie as his fancy interest Mary, Walter Huston as his dad; Cagney’s sister plays Cagney’s sister…but what will bring you to ogle this movie again and again are the musical interludes.

Cagney is simply spectacular. He is a comet, bouncing around the Broadway stage. His dancing often flirts with straight-out levitation. I drawl there are times when his feet waft across the cloak…
Then think the songs…”Yankee Doodle Dandy”, “Mary”, “Give My Regards to Broadway” and the most patriotic song I’ve ever heard, “Over There.”
That song was written for the troops of WW I, and this film was being made when Pearl Harbor was attacked. The method this one song is feeble in this film, I guarantee, will end with you forever. And shining that this movie was made during that time only enhances your experience…but I didn’t know it until afterwards, and it made no disagreement.
And that leads to the one thing I feel is overlooked in most reviews of this film: the script. It’s has a strong memoir, grand lines, terrific set-pieces and luscious twists. It’s droll as all-get-out, and heart-wrenching when you least request it.
The movie is as American as can be…the rags-to-riches rise of the central figure in Broadway history (the Broadway musical being essentially an American creation), the procedure his family travels to all the recent states as they are incorporated…the evolution of Unique York City…WW I…WW II…it’s all here!
And from beginning to demolish, Cohan (and the filmmakers) wear their “Titanic Obsolete Flag” on their proverbial sleeves, proudly and unabashedly. Patriotism is a determined theme througout the film, rising to dizzying heights suitable before the credits. Patriotism portrayed simply and honestly, without any hard political curved or satirical edge.
The DVD, one of those sweet Warner 2-disc sets, is exemplary…grand transfer, nice extras…bravo Warner, again, for treating your classics with respect.
It’s inarguable: this is one of the big films of all time. I envy those of you about to gape it for the first time, and I announce you it won’t be your last!
GREAT FILM! And making it to the top 100 (for the 100 best movies ever made), this musical starring James Cagney as George M. Cohan is about the life of Cohan and the 4 Cohan’s. George Cohan, wrote songs such as “The Yankee Doodle Boy”, “Give My Regards to Broadway”, “Overthere”, “You’re a Astronomical Outmoded Flag”, “Mary”, “Off The Portray”, “H.A.R.R.I.G.A.N.” etc….

In this movie playing his sister (Josie Cohan), is really his true sister (Jeanne Cagney) . And on the situation, Eddie Foy was played by a son of his (Eddie Foy Jr.) . At the ending when James Cagney is walking down the stairs, then is tap dancing was not in the script. Originally Cagney was to unprejudiced scoot down, the rest he improvised.
If you’re involved in musicals with excellent stories to allege and song & dances numbers (that were first done by Cohan when the plays first came out and were a tall hit.), this would be a favorable movie to fetch for your classic musical collection.
