Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review: 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, Amazon.com

This is the best film ever but try as I might I can not get hold of it for region 2. If anyone knows where or how I can find this film to play on my DVD player, here in England, I would be grateful.
Same goes for "My Beautiful Son" AKA "Strange Relations" in the American market.

To the modern generation, most know little more about Jimmy Cagney than he played gangsters in old movies. This is a great shame as many of his films are masterpieces and when people talk about 'stars' and 'celebrity' Cagney is in a league of his own. Forget Titanic, Forest Gump and so on, this is a real masterpiece!
Even if you have never seen one of his gangster films, see this. His energy and delivery are breathtaking, and his tap dancing and singing, shows what a marvellous all round entertainer he was. Never was an oscar more richly deserved than for this tour de force performance.
The film is worth buying for two scenes alone: The main number when Cagney hoofs and dances up the wall and the final scen ... Read More:

Yankee Doodle Dandy is the story of the life of US Patriot George Cohan (Played by Cagney).
Ordinarily I do not like musicals, especially ones made years and years before my birth, so when I came to sit down and watch Yankee Doodle Dandy I was only watching it for Cagney.
Was I wrong, not only is the story incredibly interesting, but the songs are choreographed exceptionally and Cagney shows his great singing and dancing skills.
Do not be fooled, this will be a film you can watch over and over again, despite being an old musical, it simply is a must for your collection whether you love James Cagney, Musicals, or Classic Hollywood.
Do yourself a favour.
