Product Description
A patriotic recreation of the life and times of George M. Cohan, with many of his songs.
Amazon.com
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

 Poor Copy September 4, 2010

This movie was colorized several years ago. I saw this color version when it was first completed. Beautiful costumes and show colors!
What I received here was a copy of a copy of a copy, of a copy of a copy, etc. The movie is blurry, the colors washed out, and the final 5 minutes are black & white, with very poor sound. I could not recommend this version to anyone. I will keep my old black and white version. Thank you.

If you want to have a couple hours of good old fashion Patiotism, you need to see this movie. What great music and dancing. Just a wonderful family movie.

I've heard of him and many of the songs he'd written, but I never knew the story of George M Cohan until seeing this wonderful movie. I also didn't know he'd received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his work which truly was of great service to our country. It really depicts what has made up, and moved, the American Spirit in the past and as such is an emotionally moving as well as a highly entertaining and uplifting movie to experience.

What's to say, they don't make movies like this anymore because there incapable of it. There are no Cagneys left,Bogart and Becall are long gone.Gable, Stewart, the Duke are all gone. As are the people who made them great, television today is without talent for the most part and certainly without ethics, Hollywood garbage is on television, and only occassionally do they put out a movie that touches the heart with class,excitment,and humor all into one movie. Yankee Doodle Danydy is perhaps one of the greatest movies about the American sprit and people ever made, and by Americas greatest actor. I first watched this movie when I was twelve, I'm 58 today and it still holds the same magic for me after all these years. I would hope we are all Yankee Doodle Dandy's.

I love the movie , YANKEE DOODLE DANDY with James Cagney. It can be watched any time, any year and still bring out our patriotic pride & emotions! One can see all of James Cagney's gifted talents throughout the movie- his passion in acting, his dance skills, his singing. It is a true family movie. The actors just made it seem as if they were the true Cohan family. It is not only patrioticv , historical fiction, but I also enjoyed the unity of the family portrayed.
I really enjoyed the second DVD with the special features, learning about how the movie was made and the bio on George M. Cohan. I've seen this movie since I was a kid in the sixties with my dad (He is a WWII US NAVY Vet, and he is still alive, at 84) and it is still our favorite all time movie!
I've been teaching for 34 years in elementary school and "You're A Grand Ol' Flag" & "Yankee Doodle Dandy" are still standard songs that I teach my students each year!
I used to have the LP of the Original George M Cohan Patriotic songs that he sang himself. I wonder if you have it on CD? My students used to love hearing YANKEE DOODLE DANDY with full orchestra and fanfare. Everyone should own this dvd. I recommend it enthusiastically.
