Yankee Doodle Dandy

This dynamic and patriotic film tells the story of George M Cohan, the theatrical everyman who is considered to be the father of American musicals. From the his days as a child star to vaudeville shows alongside his family until the time that he received a medal from the US president for his special contributions to the role. The film is positively bursting with energy from start to finish, and includes such classic songs as "Yankee Doodle" and "Give My Regards to Broadway". Yet it is Cagney’s Oscar-winning performance as Cohan which steals the show, singing and dancing with unparalleled vigour.
