It delivers its red-white-and-blue patriotism to you by the exuberant bushel, but this grand old film reminds us that there was a time when patriotism was more heartfelt than bullying and jingoistic.

awfully dull and stodgy

Maybe the best-case scenario for what happens when a film biopic does everything right.

...Cagney's picture through and through. He imbues every scene with the kind of electricity only a handful of screen stars have ever managed.

A big, old-fashioned rousing biopic of patriotic showman George M. Cohan, played with energy and gusto by Jimmy Cagney in his only Oscar-winning performance.

Love that Cagney!

You will find as warm and delightful a musical picture as has hit the screen in years, a corking good entertainment and as affectionate, if not as accurate, a film biography as has ever -- yes, ever -- been made.

James Cagney played George M. Cohan with great vigor and won his only Oscar for that brilliant performance.

Flag waving, toe tapping, GREAT James Cagney performance as Broadway's George M. Cohan.

Yankee Doodle Dandy is rah-rah, no matter how you slice it.

Raucous, vulgar, over long.

The greatness of the film resides entirely in the Cagney performance.
