| James Cagney and Joan Leslie, in Yankee Doodle Dandy. |
Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) is one of Hollywood’s greatest, grandest and slickest musicals. The nostalgic, shamelessly-patriotic, entertaining film also supported the war effort as it paid tribute in its mostly fictional story to a popular Irish/American entertainer and the grand American gentleman of the theater in the early 20th century.
