Yankee Doodle Dandy, in which James Cagney won an Oscar for his potrayal of George M Cohan. It is also Cagney's only song and dance movie. I was brought up on a diet of old black and white movies, especially those starring Cagney, Bogart etc. But for me Yankee Doodle Dandy is special. Cagney was an amazing dancer and this film is a tribute to his apprenticeship spent in vaudeville. Watching Yankee Doodle Dandy and I can almost imagine my father sitting next to me. Bliss.
