Legendary actor James Cagney stars in the role for which he won an Academy Award—the life of singer, dancer and songwriter George M. Cohan, a true Yankee Doodle Dandy.
This nonstop musical tour de force sings, dances and celebrates the life and career of a music man who lifted a nation, the first entertainer awarded the United States Congressional Medal of Honor for his contribution to morale.
From his early days as a vaudeville performer to his stardom on Broadway, Cohan composed the songs that defined his generation, including "Over There," "Give My Regards to Broadway," "You're a Grand Old Flag" and "Yankee Doodle Dandy."
